Lakeside Audiology
At Lakeside Audiology, we want every patient to leave feeling they received top-notch hearing care wrapped in genuine conversation and knowledge. Dr. Kim Block grew up in Howard County, Maryland, and completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she earned her Doctorate of Audiology Au.

D. in 2006. Prior to opening Lakeside Audiology, her experience included working at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, Providence Health System in Portland, Oregon, and Cornerstone Ear, Nose & Throat in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2015, Dr. Block opened Lakeside Audiology in response to the great need she observed in her area for evidence-based hearing healthcare for pediatrics and adults.
Services
Hearing is the foundation for communication and speech development. The first three years of life are the most critical period of language development. As such, early identification and management of hearing loss is imperative for communication success. Prevalence of hearing loss is 2 to 3 of every 1000 births.
The Pediatric Audiologists at Lakeside Audiology provide comprehensive testing, treatment, and support services for children of all ages and their families. Our Doctors of Audiology are the only audiologists in the area that specialize in Pediatric Audiology, as recognized by the American Board of Audiology.
Managing a child's hearing loss appropriately is key in laying the proper foundation for speech, language and social development. In choosing the best hearing aid for a child, considerations vary, depending on the child's age and activity level in addition to the degree and configuration of the hearing loss.
For those individuals with certain severities of hearing loss, traditional hearing aids may not be enough to achieve their best hearing potential. When this occurs, a cochlear implant may be recommended. At Lakeside Audiology, we have the knowledge and expertise to provide evaluation for cochlear implant candidacy and connect our patients to top CI surgeons from highly rated Medical Centers across the Carolinas.
Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT) is a type of specialized therapy provided by a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist (LSLS) where listening is the primary means of language acquisition for children with hearing loss. AVT is based on the principles of early amplification and early intervention, and follows age-appropriate developmental milestones.

Dr. Kim Block is nothing short of amazing. My son has unilateral hearing loss and received a cochlear implant. We switched from our original practice due to logistics, and have been more than happy with her. She has given a more thorough exam than we were used to, and helps with any questions or concerns we have. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Block.

Both Dr. Block and Dr Jensen are professional, caring and experts in the field of pediatric audiology. They are great with babies, young children and teenagers. Without hesitation I recommend this practice.

We switched to Lakeside after years at multiple audiologists for my two young children with hearing loss. There is no comparison! Dr. Jensen and Dr. Block are both so nurturing and kind, yet professional and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to show my family the best care at every appointment.

Dr. Block has been seeing my 7 year old for years. She is patient, kind and goes the extra mile to make sure my daughter is always comfortable. She even had a hearing tea party for her when she got her new hearing aide. The office is beautiful and all of the staff members are friendly.

Dr. Block was fantastic with my 10 year old daughter explaining to her why she needed hearing aids and how they worked. She made her feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. She is very knowledgable and has a wonderful bedside manner! I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a great audiologist.

Dr. Block has given me the gift of balanced hearing! I've gone over 30 years with one "good" ear, never knowing that it could be corrected with a customized hearing aid. Dr. Block came highly recommended, and I want to pass along that recommendation. She really took the time to test my hearing in her sound booth, analyze the results to pinpoint the exact frequencies I was missing, and explain to me the solution. Now, with the hearing aid she helped me select based on my needs, I can hear what I've been missing. From the start, I could tell that she cared and would give her full effort to helping
