Uhring’s offers Auditory Processing Disorder Diagnosis and Treatment, Tinnitus Therapy, and Hearing Aid Repair.
Elise Uhring and her late husband, Jim, opened their first location in Huntingdon over sixteen years ago. Presently, they own four locations in Lewistown, Huntingdon, State College, and their newest affiliate office, Centre Audiology, in Bellefonte.
Uhring’s Hearing and Balance offers the latest and greatest hearing aids on the market, with advanced speech processing, wind reduction, and improved management of feedback. These rechargeable hear- ing aids even pair with your smartphone, making it easy to stream phone calls, music and more. These aids are controlled by an app,
allowing you to make adjustments onthe-go.
Uhring’s sells top of the line hearing aids from Starkey, Signia, and Oticon. All of the newest hearing aids have artificial intelligence integrated into them that can detect when the wearer falls and send an alert message, with the GPS location of the wearer, to up to three selected contacts. These hearing aids help to provide peace of mind for patients and their loved ones.
Call Uhring’s today to set up your audiological baseline exam at one of their four locations. Hearing tests are covered by the majority of insurance companies.
