Take Steps Forward in Your
Hearing Journey
Every evaluation we offer is thorough, personalized, and rooted in clinical precision and best practices. Hearing loss impacts everyone differently, so we take the time to listen to your concerns and how your hearing loss is impacting your everyday life.
Comprehensive hearing evaluations mean nothing if you are unable to understand the results and how they can impact your daily life. This is why our providers will not only provide extensive testing, but will make sure you understand what those results actually mean and what can be done to address any hearing loss. Providing you with excellent care, as well as a clear and concise relay of test results allows you to take steps forward in your hearing journey and toward a better life.
Why Hearing Testing Matters
Hearing loss usually happens gradually, which makes it difficult to notice at first. You may catch yourself asking people to repeat themselves or struggle to follow conversations in noisy environments. Over time, untreated hearing issues can lead to more problems like fatigue, social withdrawal, and cognitive decline.
These issues are why regular hearing evaluations are so critical. Just like your eyes or teeth, your ears deserve routine care. A comprehensive test can identify early signs of hearing loss and provide a foundation for treatment that improves your connection with the world around you.
What to Expect During Your Hearing Test
When you visit our clinic for a hearing evaluation, plan to spend about 90 minutes with our team. We use this time to collect as much detailed information as we can regarding the status of your hearing. You will be in a comfortable, quiet space with a licensed audiologist who will walk you through each part of the exam and answer any questions you have along the way.
Your appointment will include several key evaluations:
Pure-Tone
Testing
Pure tone, air, and bone conduction testing
Word Recognition Evaluation
Speech discrimination using 50-word lists
Speech-in-Noise Assessment
QuickSIN (speech-in-noise) testing

Tympanometry to assess eardrum movement
Acoustic Reflex Testing

Pediatric Play Audiometry

By combining these tests, we can paint a full picture of how your ears and auditory system are working. We also make the process as relaxed as possible with no surprises or pressure.

Next Steps, Clearly Explained
Our goal is for you to leave with a clear and complete understanding of your hearing health.
What Happens Next?
If your results suggest that you would benefit from hearing aids, we want you to learn the benefit hearing aids can provide right away, so we will do much more than hand you a pamphlet. We help patients learn more about their personal preferences, making future fittings more personalized and effective.
Try Hearing Aids During Your Visit
During your appointment, you will have the chance to try on hearing aids, which will allow you to experience the improvement firsthand, showing you just how much you have been missing out on.
Get Comfortable and Personalize the Fit
Our hands-on approach helps patients feel more confident and comfortable when it comes to making a decision on treating their hearing loss with hearing aids.
Ongoing Support, With or Without Devices
For those who do not need hearing aids right away, we will still provide guidance on protecting and monitoring your hearing over time.
Pediatric
Hearing evaluations for children require a unique approach. We are well-prepared to meet young patients where they are. We offer play audiometry for children, making the testing feel more like a game than an experience at a doctor's office. The game is easy to understand and follow.
Our clinics tailors our techniques based on your child’s age and attention level. The goal is always to get accurate results while helping your child stay at ease. Our pediatric testing can identify hearing concerns affecting behavior, speech, or learning over time. Early detection is key, so we work closely with parents to create a care plan that supports the child’s confidence and development.
Cognitive Screening
We view hearing health through a whole-body lens. Hearing is not just about your ears; it is deeply connected to how your brain processes sound, speech, and information. That is why we include cognitive screening as an aspect of our comprehensive care model.
Using cutting-edge tools like Cognivue Thrive®, we can screen cognitive functioning in real-time and then connect those results to your hearing needs. When we understand how your ears hear and your brain interprets what is heard, we can offer more personalized solutions.
