Who You Will See in Newark
The same clinicians work across all four Ohio offices, so patients in Licking County are seen by a team carrying more than 100 years of combined experience.
Debra Valatka is the Director of Advanced EARGEAR, which she founded in 2006 and has grown across central and northeast Ohio. A certified Audioprosthologist, she approaches every patient by considering the whole spectrum of their needs, knowing hearing loss affects every aspect of a person's life — which is why each new patient begins with a full audiometric assessment and a broad conversation about their listening demands at home and at work.
Her path into hearing healthcare was personal. Both of her grandparents wore hearing aids and invested a small fortune in devices they were promised would transform their hearing; the results disappointed them and the aids ended up in a drawer. That impression stayed with Debra, and she became convinced there had to be something better. Under her direction the practice now handles everything from a patient's first hearing aids to designing and installing assistive listening systems for places of worship, performing arts facilities, theaters, funeral homes, and medical offices.

Newark Office Questions
What Licking County patients ask before their first visit to N 21st St: where we are since the Granville move, what a first appointment involves, what we service, and which plans we accept.
Yes. Our Granville office moved about four miles into purpose-built commercial space, and that office is now 843 N 21st St Ste 111, Newark, OH 43055. Nothing changed but the building — same practice, same team, more room to work in. If you were a Granville patient, your records came with us and you do not need to do anything. The Newark office is an easy drive from Heath, Granville, Hebron, Buckeye Lake, and Pataskala. Use the directions button above for turn-by-turn navigation, or call (740) 920-4608 if you would rather we walk you in.
We sit down and do the paperwork with you rather than handing over a clipboard, because the case history is where we learn which situations you are actually struggling in. From there comes a full hearing evaluation, a look in the ear canals, and a plain explanation of the results. If hearing aids make sense we talk through options and pricing before you commit to anything, and if they do not, we say so. The Newark office runs by appointment, so call (740) 920-4608 or send a request through this site and we will call you back to find a time.
We do. Newark handles hearing aid repair for every brand regardless of where the device came from. Cleaning, vacuuming, battery and receiver replacement, casings, and small component swaps happen in the office, and we hold direct relationships with the major manufacturers for anything that needs to go back to the factory. A good share of our Licking County patients arrived because the clinic that sold them their aids closed or stopped answering the phone. Bring the devices and whatever paperwork you still have, and we will tell you honestly whether repairing or replacing is the better spend. See hearing aid repairs for more.
Advanced EARGEAR is credentialed with every Medicare supplement plan, plus Anthem, Aetna, Humana, Medicare Gold, and UnitedHealthcare. Credentialing is practice-wide, so your coverage behaves the same in Newark as it does at our Akron, Newcomerstown, and Zanesville offices. Hearing benefits differ sharply from plan to plan and the fine print is where people get caught out, so call (740) 920-4608 with your plan details and we will verify what your policy actually covers before you commit. CareCredit financing is available for patients paying out of pocket. Our insurance and financing page covers both routes.
