Nicole L. Weyers, Au.D., CCC-A

Clinical Audiologist

Nicole Weyers, Au. D., CCC-A, a licensed audiologist, is in Manning on the third Wednesday of each month to serve our patients locally. Weyers provides comprehensive audiological evaluations, hearing aid consultations and fittings, and pediatric audiological testing.

Weyers sees patients three months old and up and can perform hearing tests and help patients with hearing loss and sore or plugged ears. Other common reasons people should see an audiologist include long-standing hearing issues, recent or sudden changes in hearing, amplification option discussion, and questions regarding hearing status.

Patients do not need a referral to be seen. However, if Weyers’ evaluation indicates potential medical management, she will refer patients to a physician.

Weyers brings a wealth of experience to MRHC, having completed her undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She has also completed clinical rotations in various settings, including ENT clinics, private practices, pediatric clinics, and hospitals. Weyers completed her residency with the Nebraska-Western Iowa VA Health Care System.
