Hearing healthcare is no longer just about turning up the volume.
At Hearing and Tinnitus Solutions, owner and audiologist Dr. Robert Melton is reshaping how the community views hearing wellness, connecting clear hearing directly to vibrant cognitive health and quality of life.
As the only audiology practice in Pagosa Springs, the clinic provides comprehensive care close to home without requiring patients to travel to larger cities.
Services range from diagnostic evaluations and modern hearing aids to earwax removal, a helpful preventive service many residents do not realize is offered locally.
“Research shows that untreated hearing loss is a key modifiable risk factor for dementia,” Melton explained. “We look beyond basic hearing tests to see how communication impacts social connection and mental sharpness.”
To support this holistic approach, the practice incorporates brief cognitive screenings (MoCA) into evaluations when appropriate. While not a dementia diagnosis, this screening offers valuable insights into brain health, helping patients catch potential concerns early and coordinate care with primary physicians.
The practice also brings specialized relief to those suffering from ringing in the ears.
Melton holds advanced certifications in tinnitus management and offers Lenire, an FDA-approved treatment that uses bimodal neuromodulation. Hearing and Tinnitus Solutions is the sole provider of this cutting-edge therapy in the Four Corners region.
By framing hearing care as proactive wellness rather than a last resort, the practice strives to empower adults to communicate confidently, stay connected to loved ones and make informed decisions.
Guided by the motto “Better Hearing. Better Living,” the clinic delivers evidence-based, compassionate care.
