Audiology

By definition, Audiology is the branch of science concerned with the sense of hearing, however many hearing conditions are directly tied to brain issues such as migraines and brain circulation issues.  The Audiology Department at Culicchia Neurological Clinic’s Hearing and Balance Center in Uptown New Orleans an Marrero, combines the surgical expertise of Neurotologist Dr. Moises Arriaga, along with Audiologist’s Dr. Elizabeth Montgomery, Dr. Patti St. John and Dr. Brittany Thomas.

Our staff emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to the many causes of hearing loss. We conduct thorough evaluations of not only the inner ear and its workings but also how it relates to the nerves in processing problems with hearing, balance or skull base tumors. This approach is truly a comprehensive evaluation of hearing loss. Each of the CNC Hearing and Balance Centers located in Marrero and Uptown New Orleans, are state-of-the-art facilities with cutting edge technologies that allow us to diagnose, treat and help you manage your hearing loss.
