Hearing Evaluations

Our team provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and treatment for hearing loss for patients of all ages and we are dedicated to the hearing healthcare of our patients.  Using the latest equipment and technology, our team provides personalized and timely services for all types of hearing challenges. 

Your hearing evaluation is an important first step to determine your hearing status.  A hearing evaluation is used to find out how much you are hearing and to decide what technologies and/or treatments can best improve your ability to communicate. This may include hearing aids, assistive listening devices, or further evaluation for other specialized treatments.  We may also recommend consultation with Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose, and Throat physicians) or other specialist depending on the results of your exam.  This would all be thoroughly discussed with you at the time of your evaluation.

• What to expect during your appointment

  A typical adult hearing evaluation includes: 

  • Hearing history and current concerns 
  • Otoscopy (assessing the outer ear) 
  • Tympanometry and Reflex testing (assessing the middle ear and auditory nerve status) 
  • Speech Detection and Understanding 
  • Frequency specific threshold determination 
  • Discussion of results and working with you to develop your individualized treatment 
• Living with hearing loss

  Any degree of hearing loss can impact everyday life causing difficulty at home, at work, in places of worship, and in social settings. Our providers are here to provide you and your communication partner with strategies to reduce these known effects of hearing loss. Spouses and significant others are welcome and encouraged to join you in your hearing health journey.
