What to expect at your hearing test
When you visit our clinic for a hearing test, you'll undergo a couple of simple assessments. One test involves listening to words and sentences and repeating them, which helps assess your ability to understand speech. Another test involves listening to beeps and tones that vary in pitch and volume to measure your hearing at different frequencies.
By the end of your appointment, your audiologist will explain your results and any next steps.

Tip from an audiologist:
Bring a close friend or family member to your first appointment
Bringing a close friend or family member to your first hearing assessment can be really helpful. They can speak with a familiar voice, giving the audiologist a better sense of how well you understand everyday speech. It also makes the experience more comfortable—having someone you trust by your side can help ease any nerves.
Plus, your loved one can offer insight into any challenges you might not notice, helping your hearing care professional better understand your needs.

3. Physical ear examination
Next, we will examine your ears and check for earwax and any foreign objects which could be blocking your ear canals. We will also look for damage to your eardrum(s), infections, and other abnormalities. This portion of the exam will help the audiologist understand if there are any medical explanations for your hearing loss.

4. Comprehensive hearing test
The hearing assessment portion of the test is simple and painless. You will sit in a soundproof room or booth while wearing a pair of headphones. We will ask you to listen to and respond to various tones, speech sounds, and voices. Your responses will be recorded on an audiogram, and the results will help indicate if you have an aidable hearing loss. Once complete, your hearing care professional will review the results with you and discuss next steps and, if needed, treatment options.
