Gulf Coast Audiology of Fort Myers

Gulf Coast Audiology of Fort Myers is an audiology practice in Fort Myers, Florida. The practice provides hearing tests, hearing aid selection, fitting and programming, and audiologic rehabilitation and counseling and education for patients and their families. Its staff is trained in hearing technology and offers hearing aid selection, along with personalized follow-up care. The practice also treats vertigo and offers assistive listening devices, and it provides education on hearing loss prevention, including the use of protective hearing devices such as earmolds against noise-induced hearing loss. Comprehensive hearing evaluations consist of a series of tests used to determine whether hearing loss is present and, if so, to measure its type, degree, configuration and underlying cause, with an audiologist assessing the results of each test to develop a treatment plan. Once hearing loss has been assessed and diagnosed, patients work with their audiologist to choose hearing devices, which are then custom created for their ears. The practice serves the Florida Southwest Coast, from Cape Coral to Naples. Gulf Coast Audiology opened its doors in 2008. It is privately owned and operated by Dr. Drianis Duran, who saw that Southwest Florida needed an audiology practice that made the patient its primary focus. Dr. Duran has a master's degree in audiology and received her doctorate degree in audiology in 2006. She has been a licensed audiologist in Florida since 2001. She has also worked in the hearing aid manufacturing field, teaching other audiologists and hearing aid professionals how to program and fit hearing instruments, and she is fully bilingual in both English and Spanish. Theresa Farabee is the practice's licensed audiology assistant, bringing 20 years of audiology experience and expertise in hearing aid maintenance and repair on all makes and types of hearing aids. The practice is located at 8900 Gladiolus Dr, Suite 201, in Fort Myers, and holds a rating of 5.00 from the customers who have reviewed it.
