Led by Kirtikant Kantesaria, MD, chief, ear, nose and throat, and Deborah Stroetzel, audiologist, the program offers a full range of audiological services and hearing aid technologies:

  • Routine hearing tests
  • Test for middle ear function
  • Specialized audiological testing
  • Specialized services, such as swim plugs, noise protectors and musicians' earplugs
  • Digital hearing aids at affordable prices
  • Substantial discounts on a second hearing aid, if two are necessary

Dr. Stroetzel also runs an ongoing educational class to help you understand hearing loss and how the Wing Memorial Hospital program can help. The class is free and is held at the hospital. Call 413-284-5499 for more information.
