Don't Ignore Hearing Loss Issues

Dr. Strickland has been practicing in the Boise/Meridian area for 16+ years. She sees patients of all ages, from infants to older adults and everything in between. She especially enjoys treating children and older adults as these two age groups are very honest and "tell it like it is."

Strickland Ear Clinic offers audiological evaluations for hearing and balance. We provide access to all the national brands of hearing aids, including Phonak. Phonak offers pediatric and adult options for hearing aids including the Lyric hearing aid which is similar to a disposable contact lens; it is a disposable hearing aid that is inserted into the ear canal by an audiologist. The Lyric is removed and replaced every 60-90 days.

Dr. Strickland has a passion for cochlear implants and bone bridges, which is the newest technology available when hearing aids no longer provide relief. Because the top 10 chronic diseases are associated with hearing loss, she watches her patients overall health and encourages them to be as healthy as possible.

Thirty-eight million Americans report having some degree of hearing loss. It is recommended to have an annual audiological evaluation as part of well check ups each year. We know that mild hearing loss doubles the risks for developing dementia and individuals with moderate and severe hearing loss are 3 and 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Individuals with high-frequency hearing loss are also more likely to be a fall risk and contribute to the health care costs and hospital stays in the U.S.

Let's get you on our schedule for an annual evaluation! We believe good hearing connects us all to each other.
