The Marquette University Hearing Clinic provides comprehensive audiologic evaluations and aural rehabilitation (hearing aids, assistive listening devices and auditory training) for adult and pediatric (age 6 months and older) populations. The hearing clinic serves the public, Marquette University students, faculty, staff and dependents. Audiologic evaluations may include some or all of the following procedures; video otoscopy, acoustic immittance measurements, pure tone air and bone conduction threshold testing, visual reinforcement audiometry, conditioned play audiometry, speech audiometry, and otoacoustic emission testing. In addition, the clinic offers recommendations, impressions and fitting of custom-fit earpieces designed for specific use such as hearing protection (hunting, high noise, musician), sleep, swim, communication (law enforcement), and personal listening (coupled with earbud/headphone).
Referrals are accepted from any source. Reports of relevant prior evaluations and therapies provided are requested prior to completion of an evaluation.
All prospective clients are required to participate in an evaluation at the MUSHC, even if they have been previously evaluated elsewhere. Once an evaluation is completed, the student-faculty diagnostic team will determine if therapy at MUSHC is appropriate. If therapy is recommended, additional information about scheduling those services will be provided at that time.
Because of our student-based delivery of services and restrictions resulting from Medicare guidelines, Medicare recipients are not eligible for individual speech-language therapy through the MUSHC. Alternative models of service delivery are often available, however, as described under specialized programs.
Standard clinic policy regarding continuation of services is as follows:
Students, faculty, staff, and persons served in the program's clinics are treated in a nondiscriminatory manner that is, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national or ethnic origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, genetic information, citizenship, or status as a covered veteran. The institution and program comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and executive orders pertaining thereto.
The MUSHC operates according to the academic calendar, providing services during Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Clinic hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Fall and Spring semester, with limited hours during Summer Session. Scheduling of evaluation and therapy sessions is completed with consideration of the availability of the client/family, supervising faculty, and qualified student clinicians.
Invoices will be provided at the beginning of the semester and fees due within 14 days of receiving the invoice. Because our fee structure is set by the semester rather than per session, we are not able to issue refunds for interruption of services midway through the semester.
The MUSHC does not accept insurance, Medicaid or Medicare payments for speech-language services provided. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check, money order, or credit/debit card. Fees must be paid at the time of service.
No one will be denied services because of inability to pay. A payment schedule, fee reduction or fee waivers may be granted to those unable to pay standard fees.
Marquette University students and their dependents are exempt from paying fees for MUSHC speech-language evaluation and therapy services.
The Marquette University Neuro Recovery clinic offers neurological rehabilitation and promotes fitness focused on nervous system recovery, optimal function, and lifelong wellness. The NRC is adjacent to the MUSHC, making it convenient for patients and caregivers and allowing for collaboration between the clinics. Click here for additional details and contact information
