The Most Trusted Team of Audiologists in Southwest Louisiana near DeRidder, LA
Just before the beginning of the 20th Century, the Pittsburgh & Gulf Railroad, later called the Kansas City Southern, connected DeRidder, LA, to the rest of America, making it possible for communities being built all across the Midwest access to the abundance of longleaf pine lumber milled in Beauregard Parish.
Besides its reputation as a timber town, DeRidder is home to the “Hanging Jail,” a three-story, Gothic-style structure with shallow arches, dormer windows, and a central tower, typically seen on college campuses and churches built in the same era. Its infamous sobriquet came after two prisoners were hung from an apparatus at the top of the spiral staircase in 1928.
Rather than feeling connected to family, friends, and their community, those with hearing loss often feel like prisoners, unable to share the abundance of knowledge and experience they’ve gained throughout their lifetime. Our audiology experts near DeRidder, LA, not quite an hour away on US Highway 171, in Lake Charles, have supported thousands of Southwest Louisiana patients on their journey to better hearing and a richer, independent quality of life.
Acadian Hearing Services’ comprehensive hearing assessments, expertise in balance and vestibular disorders, and advanced technology hearing aids used by our team of professional audiologists free DeRidder residents with hearing challenges to reconnect and share their vibrant and rewarding life with family, friends, and their Southwest Louisiana community.

Better Hearing Starts with a Comprehensive Hearing Assessment
Noticing the day-to-day changes of hearing loss is a lot like watching paint dry. It is a slow process that is difficult to detect until following conversations with your family, friends, and coworkers become a challenge.
Regular hearing assessments are the only way to know the truth about whether or not you’re losing your hearing. Even if you are only experiencing the early stages of hearing loss, a comprehensive hearing assessment by a doctor of audiology provides a baseline against which future changes are measured and treated.
A hearing assessment at either our main office in Lake Charles or our South Lake Charles location is quick, easy, non-invasive, and allows us to provide you with the truth about your hearing in about 20 minutes.
Louisiana’s Leading Balance & Vestibular Specialists
Staying steady on your feet isn’t something you tend to concern yourself with until it becomes a struggle. Keeping your balance involves sensory information regarding motion, equilibrium, and spatial orientation used by the vestibular components located in your inner ears.
When vestibular components function as designed, the impulses they send to your brain allow it to order the necessary physical adjustments to other parts of your body to keep you in balance. However, when these components are not working right, they lead to dizziness and balance disorders.
The doctors of audiology at Acadian Hearing are well equipped and have more than 30 years of experience as Louisiana’s leading balance and vestibular experts to address dizziness and balance challenges.

In addition to greater hearing clarity, even in noisy environments, our best-in-class hearing aid technology includes connectivity options that allow you to link your hearing aid to your smartphone, laptop, PC, and other digital devices for an enhanced hearing experience.
