Dr. Powis has over seven years of experience, with her doctorate in audiology from The University of Memphis (many hearing specialists do not have doctoral-level training). She is board certified and a fellow of both the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) and the American Academy of Audiology (AAA). Dr. Powis is also a member of the Massachusetts Academy of Audiology and is involved with many professional affiliations. Does the audiologist offer a variety of products and styles from hearing aid manufacturers to choose from? Dr. Powis fits all styles from the major hearing aid manufacturers, including Resound, Starkey, Unitron, Phonak, Widex, and Oticon, giving you the most chances to find the best personalized hearing loss solution for you. In addition to traditional hearing aids, Dr. Powis is the only audiologist to offer Lyric™ on Boston’s South Shore in Quincy, Massachusetts. The Lyric™ is the world’s first and only 100-percent invisible hearing aid. As the smallest hearing device on the market today, its miniature design allows it to be comfortably placed deeper in the ear canal. The deeper placement makes the Lyric™ completely unseen and invisible. Dr. Powis, our top-rated audiologist in Quincy, Massachusetts, and on Boston’s South Shore, is able to determine the best course of action for your treatment program based on your unique listening challenges. Can you show me what my hearing looks like before I make a decision on hearing loss treatment or hearing aids? Dr. Janice Powis will perform a complete diagnostic hearing evaluation to accurately diagnose and treat your hearing loss. You will be provided with your audiogram test results for review with Dr. Powis, as well as to keep for your personal records. Dr. Powis will make sure she has addressed all your questions and concerns before moving forward with a treatment plan.
