What is a Hearing Test?

A hearing test is a comprehensive evaluation of how well you hear sounds and speech in different environments. The testing helps determine whether you have hearing loss, the severity, and what type of treatment will help, if any is needed.

Our licensed hearing aid professionals will conduct each exam with care, using the latest diagnostic tools to ensure accurate results that are easy to understand.

What to Expect During Your Hearing Test

Your visit for a hearing test will start with a conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have. From that point, we will guide you through several simple steps. These include:

Consultation

We begin with a personal discussion about your hearing experiences, general health, and any symptoms you're noticing.

Hearing Evaluation

A visual inspection checks for blockages or issues in the outer ear, followed by a series of safe, non-invasive tests.

Pure Tone Audiometry

You’ll wear headphones and respond to a series of tones to determine the quietest sounds you can hear at various pitches.

Speech Reception & Word Recognition

We’ll test how well you understand spoken words in quiet and noisy environments.

Results & Discussion

You’ll receive your results immediately in an easy-to-understand format. We’ll walk through what everything means and, if needed, discuss next steps.
