A Personal Message from Julie VanAusdal, M.S,. CCC-A
A common misconception that many people make is that they believe that the solution to a hearing loss is simply a hearing aid.
Yet the truth is that hearing technology is actually only a small part of the puzzle.
The much more important component is working with the right audiologist who has helped hundreds of others and developed a methodical process of achieving better hearing with a reputable track record.
Since opening the doors to South Sound Audiology in 2007 – we have had the pleasure of meeting and caring for the hearing health of hundreds of incredible people and families across Lacey.
Our unique approach combined with what we refer to as our “family” level of care has resulted in us being one of the best-kept secrets of many local people and seen us recognized by local physicians and organizations as the most trusted local hearing doctors.

3 Ways That We Can Help
Comprehensive Hearing Consultation
Comprehensive Hearing Consultation
When Was Your Last Hearing Test?
When Was Your Last Hearing Test?
Although we all regularly have a dental check-up, our blood pressure tested, and a yearly physical, rarely do we regularly test our hearing. Yet with 1 in 8 of us having some form of hearing loss and a recent study from the World Health Organization predicting that hearing loss will double by 2050, there has never been a more important time to regularly have your hearing tested. If you or a loved one is experiencing any form of a hearing challenge, then you’re highly encouraged to schedule your hearing consultation. They’re quick, non-invasive, and the results are shared with you right away.

Advanced Prescription Hearing Aid Technology

Small, Discreet, & Powerful Hearing Technology
Small, Discreet, & Powerful Hearing Technology
Although many of us remember prescription hearing aids being the large, clunky devices that our grandparents wore, you’ll be glad to know that modern hearing aids have drastically progressed. The latest technology is small, discreet, and, in some cases, even invisible. In fact, it’s likely that a friend, colleague, or loved one may wear prescription hearing aids that you have never noticed. But aside from being discreet, they pack a punch with rechargeable batteries, connectivity to your cell phone, and the ability to change your settings to match certain environments. Today’s technology doesn’t just amplify your hearing, but it also amplifies your life.
