The Process

What to Expect at Your Hearing Test

Our hearing assessments follow a structured, step-by-step process to give you the most complete picture of your hearing health.

Health History Review

We begin by discussing your hearing concerns, medical history, and any noise exposure or medications that may affect your hearing.

Ear Canal Examination

We use an otoscope to visually inspect your ear canals for wax buildup, fluid, or other physical factors that could affect the test results.

Pure-Tone Audiometry

You'll listen through headphones and press a button when you hear tones at different pitches and volumes. This maps your hearing thresholds across frequencies.

Speech Recognition Test

We test how well you understand speech in quiet and sometimes in background noise — this reflects your real-world hearing experience.

Results & Recommendations

We review your audiogram with you and explain what it means. If hearing loss is identified, we'll recommend next steps — including whether hearing aids would help.
