Welcome to the Audiology Clinic at Racker
COVID-19 Advisory
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Racker Audiology clinic is closed until further notice., Dr. Van Houten and her staff will be checking voicemails periodically to service patients’ needs as quickly as possible. Please call the office for any questions, supply requests, or device issues, and someone will be in touch. We thank you for your patience as we do our best to contribute to a healthy and safe community.
It can be hard to admit that you need help with your hearing loss, but the benefits are considerable. With hearing aids you can hear and understand the people around you better than you have in years, and you may find yourself feeling more confidently involved in conversations and activities. Modern hearing aid technology is incredibly powerful, and there are some amazing ways we can help people with severe and profound hearing loss experience a better life.
You may not realize how much you're missing or even how withdrawn you may be from your family and friends. Hearing aids can improve your quality of life by giving you back the freedom to experience the world around you. Come see us at Racker Audiology Clinic so we can show you the difference better hearing can make in your life.
In the Press
We were recently featured on Ithaca.com to celebrate our move to the new location; click here to read the article!
"Since receiving hearing aids from Racker Audiology Clinic, I can interact with ease and I am able to participate much more in my community. I find myself asking others around me to lower their voice because I no longer need them to project so loudly; now one-on-one communication is so much easier! When I am outside, I am hearing birds that I haven’t heard in years! I hear chickadees and blue jays, my awareness is so much greater. My ears are happy, it’s a world of difference!"
