One call. Dr. Aussem comes to you.
In-home care follows the same process as an office visit. The only thing that changes is the location.

Dr. Aussem comes to you
He arrives with the clinical equipment needed for your appointment, from diagnostic testing tools to hearing aid programming and Real Ear Measurement devices.
Full care, on your terms
The visit covers everything that was scheduled, with the same thoroughness as an office appointment, and next steps are arranged before he leaves.
Good audiology care should reach the people who need it most.
For many patients, getting to the office is the hardest part of hearing care. Driving becomes difficult, family members cannot always help, and those obstacles are a real reason appointments get deferred. Mobile care removes the barrier by bringing Dr. Aussem to the patient with the same equipment and the same standard of care as an in-office visit.
Most ongoing care can be done at home: hearing evaluations, fittings and adjustments, Real Ear Measurement with portable equipment, earwax removal, and device troubleshooting. If something requires the full office setup, Dr. Aussem will say so. For most established patients, an in-home visit handles everything.
The full scope of care, brought to you.
Most of what happens in the office can happen at home. Here is what in-home visits typically cover.
- Full diagnostic hearing evaluations conducted in the comfort and familiarity of your own home
- Hearing aid fittings, adjustments, and Real Ear Measurement verification with portable clinical equipment
- Earwax removal without the need to coordinate transportation for an office visit
- Device troubleshooting and repair assessment conducted on-site, often resolved in the same visit
- Follow-up care for new hearing aid users during the adjustment period, in the environments they actually live in
- Care for patients referred by physicians whose mobility or transportation situation makes office visits difficult
Mobile care is not a reduced version of care.
The concern most patients have about in-home visits is whether the care will be as thorough as what they would receive in an office. The equipment Dr. Aussem brings is clinical-grade and the same kind used in the office. Real Ear Measurement, which verifies that hearing aids are delivering the correct output for your ear canal, can be performed with portable equipment. Diagnostic testing follows the same protocols. The setting is different; the standard is not.
Mobile care also works well for patients who are transitioning out of a hospital or rehabilitation facility and need hearing care in place before they have fully regained their mobility. It works for caregivers managing a family member's health care who cannot add another appointment at another location to an already demanding schedule. And it works for patients who simply find that the comfort of their own home makes for a more productive appointment, particularly when they are still adjusting to new hearing aids.
North Shore Hearing's mobile care is part of Dr. Aussem's broader commitment to accessible, patient-centered audiology. He also runs scheduled clinics at senior living communities in the Milwaukee area, serving residents who benefit from on-site care without needing to arrange transportation. If you are not sure whether mobile care is right for your situation, call the office and describe what you need. The answer is usually straightforward.
