The Hearing Test Process
Our hearing tests include a detailed case history, otoscopy, tympanometry, recording of pure-tone air and bone thresholds as well as speech testing. After your test the results are explained and next steps are recommended such as a referral for further medical consultation and/or hearing devices.
Most evaluations take roughly 60 minutes. A longer appointment may be needed if you require wax removal before the test or re-programming of your current hearing aids after the test.
How to Prepare
Preparing for your hearing test is easy.
Before your arrival, make sure you have a list of any concerns you have or any situations where you’ve noticed changes in your hearing. If you have had any previous hearing tests, bring along those results along with any medical history that might impact your assessment. If you wear hearing aids, make sure they are in good condition for a more accurate evaluation.
