Hearing Loss Can Happen to Anyone

Hearing Loss Can Happen to Anyone

Though age deterioration is among the leading causes of hearing loss, anyone of any age can develop hearing loss due to a variety of circumstances like:

  • Birth defects

  • Ongoing exposure to loud noise

  • Head injuries

  • Various types of illnesses

  • Ototoxic medications

Regular, non-invasive hearing assessments can help identify hearing issues no matter the cause and regardless of whether you are aware that you are losing your hearing.

A Physical Examination of Your ears

We’ll take a look into your ears to make sure they are healthy. We’re looking for anything that could be blocking your ear canal and to verify that there are no structural issues with your eardrum.

Some patients who experience hearing issues discover that the problem is not permanent, but related to inflammation, a bug, growth, or earwax blocking their ear canal.

Recognizing the signs of hearing loss early on is crucial, and scheduling a hearing test is the first step toward better hearing health.

Hearing Tests

Hearing Tests

For the main hearing tests, you will be seated in a soundproof booth and fitted with headphones. You will respond to the tones we transmit at different pitches and volumes by pressing a button.

We will also test how well you hear when someone is speaking by transmitting spoken words into your hearing aids and asking you to repeat what you hear. For a real world understanding of your hearing capacity, we will also do this test adding different types of background noise at various volume levels.

Our objective is to determine what you can hear and what you can’t hear.

We’ll Review Your Results

Unlike many tests in healthcare, you don’t have to wait for the results. As soon as we finish your test we will look at your results, which are printed on an Audiogram.

This graph is a visual illustration of what you are hearing well and the areas where you are struggling. We’ll explain each area with you, and then develop a plan together for helping you hear better.
