Who volunteers for Hearing the Call? Of course, there are many generous audiologists who travel from the U.S. to help hundreds of hearing impaired individuals across the world. But there are also people who have careers outside the medical field, and they’re able to contribute in so many meaningful ways. From registration, to earmolds, to directing patients from room to room, each person who gives back is an essential part of a successful clinic.

Did you know dogs can hear sounds at much higher frequencies than humans? While we catch up to 20,000 Hz, our furry friends can detect up to 65,000 Hz!

What’s one of the biggest challenges of Hearing the Call trips? Testing children in makeshift clinics! Nevertheless, the volunteer audiologists know how to get creative and have fun while getting accurate testing to really change the path of the kids’ lives. The nonprofit tries to fit children with two devices (when needed) because it will dramatically improve their success rate in schools and in their family.

Meniere's disease affects the inner ear causing dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, consult an audiologist for diagnosis and care.

Did you know your ears are self-cleaning? There's no need to risk damaging your eardrum with cotton swabs. Trust your ears to do the work and keep your hearing safe!

Earwax cleaning can be the most popular station in a Hearing the Call clinic depending on the population the nonprofit is serving. Oftentimes, communities lack access to basic hearing care and excess earwax or impacted ears can be a frequent problem. Environment and genetics can play a role in earwax production as well. Regardless, you best believe the patients leave with clean ears — a necessity for accurate testing and proper earmolds.
One of the reasons we love supporting Hearing the Call is because the organization uses best practices when helping patients even in rural and remote areas.

“Care and Use” is the final step when attending an international Hearing the Call clinic, and it’s one of the most important. By now, the patients have waited for hours, are tired, and are ready to go home… BUT, before they do, they are instructed on basic hearing aid maintenance. Adult patients and parents of children are shown how to replace batteries, clean the devices, and given contact information for local support. This will hold them over until the nonprofit’s next visit the following year.
As a member of Hearing the Call, we know how important continuous support is in the ultimate vision of creating sustainable hearing care in countries that need it the most.

Exostosis, also known as ‘surfer’s ear,’ is the abnormal growth of bone in the ear canal which is often caused by repeated exposure to cold water or wind. This condition can lead to hearing loss and frequent ear infections.

Our Story

Northland Audiology & Hearing Services was founded by Dr. Alver Rongstad, Au.D. in 1993.

After working as an Audiologist for ANMC in Anchorage, Alver became the head of the Statewide Audiology Services Program for the State of Alaska in the mid-1980s and spent years flying to small rural communities around northern Alaska to provide hearing services. When the program was defunded, all state audiology offices were closed, which left people who needed hearing healthcare without access to care.

Seeing a shortage of local audiology services in Southeast Alaska, and preferring to remain in Alaska, Alver, his wife Nancy and their young children moved to Juneau where he established Northland Audiology & Hearing Services.

In 2003, when Alver was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Nancy resumed a more active participation in the business (having taken a hiatus to work in engineering with DOT). When Alver died in 2004, Nancy hired staff audiologists in order to ensure that Southeast Alaska could continue to have audiology services locally. Nancy remarried a fellow widower, Noel Shima, who joined the practice full time 2007 and became co-owner. Nancy retired in 2018 when her and Alver’s daughter, Kaia Rongstad, became co-owner and took over daily operations of the business.
