  • Evaluation, programming, and management of cochlear implants and bone-anchored implants
  • Evaluation and treatment for auditory processing disorder
  • Services that help with speech, language, fluency, voice, cognitive communication, swallowing, stuttering, and laryngectomy (surgical removal of the larynx, which contains your vocal cords)
  • Dysphagia evaluation, including modified barium swallow (video swallow) and fiberoptic endoscopy
  • Care of special populations in palliative care, or with neurogenic communication issues, head and neck cancer or spinal cord injury
  • Compensation and Pension exams for VA benefits

For Veterans with VA issued hearing aids, there is a Hearing Aid Repair walk-in clinic at the Jamaica Plain Campus for hearing aid problems/repairs on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 8:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

You can also call  857-364-4730 to request a postage page mailing label be sent to you for repair-by-mail or use one of our repair drop boxes:

  • Jamaica Plain - Main building near screening station mounted on a stanchion
  • Brockton - Building 3 lobby right hand side on the wall
  • West Roxbury - Building 3 at patient main entrance, left side on the wall

Just  place device(s) in a labeled and sealed envelope or bag (not a box- it won't fit inside the drop slot), and include a note with the Veteran’s name, last four digits of SSN, phone number, return shipping address and a description of problem.
