Caring and Compassionate Audiological Care Near Indian Head, MD
The site of a naval base specializing in gun and rocket propellants since 1890, Indian Head had long been home to the Mattawoman band of the Piscataway Nation who were encountered by the first English settlers who called the land the "Indian Head" peninsula. The site was a gathering spot for volunteers during the Civil War as well as for Union Army Balloon Corps reconnaissance of Confederate troop movements across the Potomac.
Indian Head was a thriving small town during World War II all the way up until the late 1960s when the construction of St. Charles, a giant planned community south of nearby Waldorf, began to take away Indian Head's shopping dollars and spelled the demise of local businesses. Rich in history, the town lacks many basic retail and service businesses, but revitalization efforts like the “black box” stage theater, the Indian Head Center for the Arts, a 13-mile paved hiking/biking trail converted from an old railroad track, a year-round swimming pool at Henry E. Lackey High School, and the “Velocity Center” completed in 2020 are in full swing.
Hearing loss restricts what you are able to enjoy, shutting down avenues of communication that connect you to family, friends, and community. With better hearing, you can revitalize your relationships, enjoy the richness nature has to offer in area parks, and live a more rewarding and independent lifestyle.

Professional Earwax Removal for Healthier Ears
Earwax protects your ears by moisturizing, removing dirt, and blocking bacteria and fungi. Too much, however, can cause muffled sound, aching, or infection.
Too little can lead to itching and irritation. Rather than risk damage by trying to remove it yourself, our specialists in Bowie and Southern Maryland use Earigator technology—the safest, most effective, and most comfortable way to remove built-up or impacted earwax.
When Was The Last Time That You Had Your Hearing Tested?
Most of us get annual checkups for cholesterol and teeth but rarely our hearing—yet 30 million Americans over 12 have hearing loss.
If you or a loved one struggle, the first step is a professional hearing test. It’s quick, painless, and often covered by insurance. Early detection ensures proper treatment and helps preserve your hearing long-term. It’s quick, it’s non-invasive, and, in most cases, your insurance pays for your hearing test.
How Prescription Hearing Technology Has Progressed
Today’s prescription hearing aids are small, discreet, and often invisible—far from the bulky devices of the past.
Many patients’ friends and family can’t even tell they’re wearing them. Modern aids also connect to smartphones, tablets, TVs, and music for seamless sound and easier communication. Advanced technology not only restores hearing but enhances daily life.
