What to Expect at Your Hearing Test Appointment

Your first appointment typically lasts a little over an hour and includes a full assessment with one of our licensed audiologists. We want to understand the full picture of your hearing and how it’s impacting your life.

This step helps us personalize your care based on your unique background and experiences. Your audiologist will ask questions such as:
  • How long have you been experiencing hearing difficulties?
  • In what situations is hearing most challenging?
  • Do you have ringing in your ears (tinnitus)?
  • Have you been exposed to loud environments?
  • Do you feel fullness or pressure in your ears?
  • Do you experience dizziness or balance issues?

We use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate every part of your hearing system. The testing process includes three components:

Mechanical Check

We begin by examining your ears for wax buildup or obstructions. If needed, your audiologist can remove the wax safely. We also use a tympanometer to assess the movement of your eardrum and middle ear bones, ensuring they’re functioning properly.

Hearing Sensitivity Evaluation

While seated in a soundproof booth, you’ll listen to tones of various pitches and volumes through headphones. This allows us to identify whether you have hearing loss — and if so, its severity and frequency range.

Speech Understanding Test

This test measures how well you recognize words and sentences in both quiet and noisy environments. This is especially important for determining how much hearing aids can improve your understanding in real-life situations.

After testing, your audiologist will explain your results in easy-to-understand terms and outline the next steps.

Medical Referral (if needed)

If your results indicate a condition that may benefit from medical treatment, we’ll refer you to your physician or an ear, nose, and throat specialist (Otolaryngologist).

Hearing Aid Options

If your hearing loss is not medically treatable, we’ll explore hearing aid solutions based on:
  • Your hearing profile
  • Your lifestyle
  • Your aesthetic preferences
  • Your budget and insurance coverage
