Hearing Testing & Evaluations
A hearing test is the first step toward improved quality of life. We offer consultations and screenings as well.
Is It Time for a Hearing Test?
Hearing loss is a sudden or gradual decrease in how well you can hear. It is one of the most common conditions affecting older and elderly adults. Having trouble hearing can make it hard to understand and follow a doctor’s advice, to respond to warnings, and to hear doorbells and alarms. It can also make it hard to enjoy talking with friends and family. All of this can be frustrating, embarrassing, and even dangerous. Regular hearing testing is recommended to monitor whether you’re experiencing a hearing loss. A hearing test is the first step to improving your quality of life!

How to Convince Someone They Need a Hearing Test
You are married to, live with or love someone who is clearly struggling to hear. How do you convince them that it’s time to get their hearing checked? The quickest way to bring someone around to the realization that they might be having a problem hearing is to stop being a human hearing aid. Frequent repetitions, tolerating the volume louder than you know it should be and repeating someone else’s conversation to them is a sign that you are becoming their hearing aids. The average person waits for 5 – 7 years to do something about their hearing loss. The sooner they do something about the problem, the happier everyone will be.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
We want your visit and hearing test with us to be as stress-free as possible. Here’s a little bit about what you can expect when you do finally make the decision to come in and see us. Once the testing is complete, we’ll explain everything to you because we believe your journey to better hearing should be a partnership with you and your hearing healthcare provider. And we believe that journey should begin by making you sure you’re as well informed as possible about your problem and all possible solutions.
