Hearing Tests
Andros Audiology offers diagnostic hearing tests in Inver Grove Heights and Roseville, MN. A hearing test is the first step in determining if hearing loss is present and what degree of loss you have (mild, moderate, moderately severe, severe or profound). The test itself is quick and painless. The purpose is to assess how well you can hear certain sounds at various frequencies as well as your ability to discern speech in noise.
We offer hearing tests for children and adults. If you or your child need your hearing checked, contact us today.
Cerumen Removal
Cerumen (earwax) can build-up inside the ear canal, causing impaction. This can lead to muffled hearing, clogged ears, and discomfort. At Andros Audiology, our hearing specialists can safely remove earwax so you can hear clearly. As part of your hearing exam, we will always check your ears for built up earwax.
Hearing Aid Services
In addition to diagnostic hearing testing, we also offer a wide range of services for hearing aids, including:
- Hearing aid evaluation
- Hearing aid fitting and programming
- Hearing aid repairs
- Hearing aid cleanings
Earlens
Earlens offers the world’s only nonsurgical lens to gently vibrate the eardrum. By placing a tiny lens directly on your eardrum, the ear tip transmits high fidelity audio signals directly to the lens, gently vibrating your eardrum across the full frequency range. The result is rich, natural sound.
Earlens is intended to treat individuals 18 years and older with mild to severe sensorineural hearing loss who can benefit from amplification.

Ringing in the ears, medically known as tinnitus, can be debilitating for some people. Millions of people have tinnitus and the most common phantom sounds people hear are a buzzing, humming, ringing, or whistling in the head or ears. Tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying issue and your entire audiological health will need to be assessed to find the best management plan.

Custom Earmolds
The hearing specialists at Andros Audiology can make custom earmolds for hearing aids, hearing protection, in-ear monitors, and earplugs. To be proactive of your hearing health, it’s important to wear hearing protection whenever you are exposed to loud sounds. We can make a variety of earplugs for musicians, construction workers, sports enthusiasts, and recreational use at our offices.
Ear Tubes
Implantation of small tubes in the eardrums allows built-up fluid to drain out of the middle ear. This procedure is commonly performed on young children who get frequent ear infections. The tubes stay in for up to 18 months and fall out on their own.
If you have a child who experiences frequent ear infections or Eustachian tube dysfunction, ear tubes may be a solution.
