Audiology FAQs
Answers to common questions about visiting Physicians Hearing Clinic for audiology, hearing aids, and pediatric APD care in Sarasota, FL — scheduling, insurance, the first visit, the 60-day trial, and remote care.
Physicians Hearing Clinic sees patients by appointment at 5432 Bee Ridge Road #170, Sarasota, FL 34233. We are open Monday through Thursday 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM and Friday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM — closed Saturday and Sunday.
To book, request an appointment through the on-page form, call (941) 342-9494, or stop in. We also offer same-day appointments for emergent hearing concerns and welcome walk-ins for quick hearing aid services or supplies.
Your first visit begins with a conversation about your hearing history, lifestyle, and goals. Your audiologist then performs same-day diagnostic testing in a sound-controlled environment — audiometry, speech reception, word recognition, and otoscopic exam — and reviews your audiogram with you in plain language.
If treatment is appropriate, we discuss options that match your hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget — including hearing aids from Signia, Widex, Starkey, Phonak, Oticon, and ReSound. Evaluations are painless and there is no pressure to purchase. Our goal is an honest picture of your hearing health and a plan that fits your life — not ours.
Yes — Physicians Hearing Clinic accepts a range of insurance carriers and offers flexible payment options to fill any gaps. Our insurance verification team handles the legwork before your first appointment: confirming exactly what your specific policy includes, billing your carrier directly whenever your plan allows, and giving you a clear out-of-pocket estimate before you commit to anything.
For patients without coverage — or whose plans don't fully cover hearing aids — we offer CareCredit financing with deferred-interest and extended payment options. We also partner with Sounding Joy to provide hearing aids to children whose families can't otherwise afford them.
Yes. Every set of prescription hearing aids fitted at Physicians Hearing Clinic comes with a 60-day exchange period. If your devices aren't the right fit after 60 days of real-world wear, bring them back and we'll swap them for a different model — or, if no device is the right match, return them for a refund. Real life is the only test that matters.
Before any recommendation, your audiologist completes a lifestyle interview and listening-environment analysis so your hearing aids are matched to where and how you actually need to hear — at the office, the theater, the pickleball court, or family gatherings. With Signia, Widex, Starkey, Phonak, Oticon, and ReSound all carried in-house, patients are never locked into a single brand. Call (941) 342-9494 to learn more.
Physicians Hearing Clinic provides hearing care for the entire family — from pediatric Auditory Processing Disorder evaluations and custom swim plugs for kids to adult hearing aid fittings, tinnitus education, and senior hearing care.
Because many of our patients split time between Sarasota and a second home, we built telehealth visits, remote hearing-aid programming, and mail-order supplies to keep seasonal residents connected to their audiologist year-round. We see patients from across Sarasota, Bee Ridge, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, Lakewood Ranch, Osprey, Venice, Bradenton, North Port, and the greater Sarasota County area.
