Mass General Brigham offers rehabilitative clinical care that includes diagnosis and treatment for hearing loss. You get advanced care from specialists across our renowned medical community, including Mass Eye and Ear and Spaulding Rehabilitation.

Our approach to audiology
Our audiologists offer comprehensive tests that look at the peripheral, middle, and inner ear, including hearing assessments for newborns. We evaluate and diagnose hearing loss, balance disorders, and vestibular conditions, then partner with you to determine the next steps in care.
Our specialists take the time to explain your results, discuss treatment and rehabilitation options, and connect you with the appropriate therapies, technologies, or medical care—ensuring a seamless transition from diagnosis to ongoing support.
We offer a full range of the latest hearing devices and provide technical assistance for any issues you encounter, including:
- Auditory brainstem implants: Send auditory signals to your brain
- Bone conduction devices: Send sound waves to your inner ear
- Cochlear implants: Stimulate your auditory nerve
- Consumer hearing technology: Amplifies sound using apps and over-the-counter listening devices
- Prescription hearing aids: Amplify and control sounds around you
