Ear & Hearing Center

powered by ENT Urgent Care

At home

A free consultation, an online hearing test, and video visits with your clinician. Connected devices let a clinician examine and measure your ears from wherever you are. Hearing aids arrive pre-programmed and are tuned live by a doctor in your own kitchen.

At an audiology clinic

In-person hearing tests, fittings and trials, with hands-on adjustments whenever you want them — at one of our locations or a partner clinic near you. And if something needs a physician, ENT virtual care can be reached from the clinic itself.

At an ENT clinic

Hands-on care and procedures for the things that need a room and a specialist. No new referral, no repeating yourself. Already an ENT patient? Hearing-specific needs can go straight to an audiology clinic.

Your first step

Answer a few short questions

Tell us a little about your hearing needs, and we'll suggest where to start. Takes about two minutes.

Where to start

Start online.
Come in only if you need to.

Most people can't tell whether what they've got is a medical problem or a hearing problem — and you shouldn't have to. One free video visit sorts that out, and we'll point you to the right place if you need one.

At home

Start here. Most people don't need anything else.

A free consultation with an ENT physician or an audiologist — no referral, and no waiting weeks for one. Connected devices let your clinician examine and measure your ears for real, so this isn't guesswork over the phone.

Most of what we see gets sorted right here. If you do need hands-on care, we'll say so and book it for you — at an ENT clinic or an audiology clinic near you. It costs nothing to find out.

Answer a few short questions

At an audiology clinic

Come in if you're not hearing well.

The signs it's hearing rather than something medical: you're asking people to repeat themselves more than you used to, you lose the thread in restaurants and group conversation, or the television has crept up past where anyone else needs it.

An audiologist tests properly, fits and tunes devices in person, and adjusts them whenever you want. If your video visit points here, we'll book it — at one of our clinics or a partner clinic near you. And if you don't need hearing aids, they'll tell you that — plenty of people don't.

At an ENT clinic

Come in if something's wrong.

Ear pain, pressure, fullness, drainage or itching. Wax you can't clear, dizziness, vertigo or ringing. Hearing that changed suddenly — which can be urgent.

These need a physician, and sometimes a procedure. Red-flag triage is built into every visit — virtual or in person — so the things that must not be missed aren't.

Online hearing test

Not sure if anything
has changed?

Take the check at home in about five minutes. It asks a few questions, plays some sounds, and tells you whether your results suggest hearing loss — and what to do about it.

Different from the questions above: that one is about you and where to start. This one is about your ears.

This hearing check is not a diagnostic hearing test or a medical assessment. It is designed to give you general information about your hearing.

Hearing solutions

From a first check
to the device that fits.

Two choices, and we'll help with both — how it sits in your ear, and how much technology is inside.

How it sits in your ear

A completely-in-canal hearing device worn in an ear

Completely in canal

Sits inside the canal. Effectively invisible when you're wearing it.

A receiver-in-canal hearing device worn in an ear

Receiver in canal

The most common and most versatile. Discreet, and suits almost any degree of hearing loss.

An earbud-style hearing device worn in an ear

Sports buds

Earbud-style and rechargeable, for when you'd rather it looked like everyone else's earbuds.

How much technology

Plus

For quiet rooms and one‑to‑one

Clear speech where little is competing with it. Phone and TV streaming, tinnitus programs, and lifetime remote adjustments without coming in.

Pro

For busy rooms, meetings and groups

Finer tuning, echo and wind reduction, and automatic adjustment as you move from one room to the next.

Everything in Plus

Premium

For any environment you walk into

The hardest listening there is — a crowded restaurant, open air, several voices at once.

Everything in Pro

We're not tied to one manufacturer. We match the device to your hearing and your budget — not to a supplier agreement. You'll see real numbers at your free consultation.

How it works

Three steps,
and someone with you for all of them.

A video visit with a clinician, a hearing aid and a connected otoscope Rechargeable hearing devices in their charging cases
Step one

First consultation

Free, and nobody is selling you anything. Connected devices give your clinician real measurements before a word is said about hearing aids.

Step two

Expert fitting

Your devices arrive already programmed to your hearing. Fitted in a clinic, or live on video at your own kitchen table.

Step three

Tuning & support

Real life isn't a sound booth. We keep adjusting as you go, for as long as you have them.

I recommend this place highly! Previously I went to a different urgent care because I couldn’t hear out of one of my ears and was basically dismissed. When I came here I immediately felt relaxed because they actually made me feel comfortable and reassured me plus they fixed the problem! Will 100% be back!!!

Earlux has been a game changer for me. I knew I had moderate hearing loss, but after working with Dr. Cory and getting used to hearing aids, I had no idea just how much I was missing! Earlux has made it extremely convenient to get the help I needed via online appointments, which is huge for a busy mom! I’m so glad I took the plunge and got hearing aids and I’m so glad I chose Earlux to guide me through the process!

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Todd and the staff! He did a wonderful job of repairing a hole in my ear drum and allowing me to hear again. I am so happy with the results. He is kind and thoughtful at follow up appointments. So very glad I went to him for the care of my ears.

Dr. Boone was literally phenomenal. I took my daughter in today and loved that I didn’t need a referral as I already knew we needed to see an ENT doc. We might be able to avoid tubes based on what he observed and the tools he used to help drain her ears — she can already hear so much better. We will do what he told us to at home. She already has massive relief from our visit today and the ear popping he was able to do for her. He was so personable and thorough — we had the best conversation and he is truly in it to help people, you can tell. Finally…a Dr. that we completely trust! Thank you SO much Dr Boone!

Dr. Benjamin Wycherly was precise on his prognosis. Recommend further evaluation on my ear infection. The staff are so professional and caring.

I had a problem with ear wax that clogged my eardrums. Dr. Martin immediately took care of the problem, explaining that some people have this problem. So I will go yearly to check out my eardrums.

Working with Earlux and Dr. Cory has been amazing. Even virtually the experience has been very thorough and felt like a regular audiology visit but from the comfort of my own home. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a virtual way to manage their hearing needs!!

I’ve been going to Capital ENT ever since my surgery for a Septoplasty with Dr. Dharamsi. (A great experience in itself) When I needed immediate help to clear an ear blockage, I got an appointment within 24 hours. Andrew was able to clear it out without me feeling any discomfort at all. I can’t say enough about the quality of care provided by Capital ENT.

Love my Earlux!! No more missing important conversations and no more having to ask “what did they say?” All the people involved from hearing test to fitting were knowledgeable and professional. Great investment.

★★★★★

I have been going to this clinic since it opened and have always had very pleasant experiences. My most recent visit was with Joy Adams, who then referred me to your audiologist Kymm Glenzer for further testing. Both were very professional and thorough, explaining what they were doing and why. Diane, the receptionist, made me feel very welcome. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I would very definitely recommend this clinic!

Linda WittmanEdina, MN
★★★★★

Staff was helpful, polite and professional as was Dr. Martin. Only needed to take wax out of my ear, but Dr Martin explained the procedure and was friendly, polite and professional. Would highly recommend the office.

Elizabeth BleierLos Angeles, CA
★★★★★

Overwhelmed with the positive results from provider. The doctor took a look and was able to clear a completely blocked canal. Embarrassing, but no judgment. I’m a drummer so it’s nice to be able to hear! If your ears are bothering you, don’t hesitate to make an appointment, with PPENT.

Join our national
ear care network.

We're building the network that puts physician-led ear care in front of patients wherever they are — and we're looking for audiology practices, clinic networks and manufacturers to build it with. Patients who want to be seen in person get routed to the clinic nearest them. That could be yours.

  • Referrals routed to your clinic, not away from it
  • ENT physicians and audiologists licensed in all 50 states
  • Offer physician-led ear care without hiring an ENT
  • No manufacturer exclusivity — we work across the market

Patients — this form is for clinics and partners. To be seen, use the consultation buttons above.

Thanks — we'll be in touch shortly.

Why the Ear & Hearing Center

The people you'd want
looking after your ears.

Most hearing companies sell devices. Most ENT clinics don't fit hearing aids. We built this so you never have to work out which one you need — board-certified ENT physicians and licensed audiologists, together, virtually or in a clinic near you.

Whatever's going on with your ears, start with a free consultation. No cost, no obligation, and nobody selling you anything before someone has actually looked inside your ear.
