Why See an Audiologist for an Evaluation?
It’s important to have a hearing evaluation by an audiologist to rule out medical conditions. Audiologists are trained to screen for problems that might be missed in a basic hearing test. They will give you a complete picture of your ear health, the first step towards getting the proper treatment.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your appointment is scheduled for 90 minutes, and we often use the entire appointment. Here’s what we’ll be doing:
- Ear Health History: Dr. Heather will ask you some questions about your ear health so we can better understand your needs.
- Otoscopy: Dr. Heather will check your ears for wax buildup, examine the normal landmarks of your eardrum, and check for perforation or other issues.
- Tympanometry: This test checks how well your middle ear is working. We look for signs of fluid, negative pressure, or other middle ear problems.
- Hearing Evaluation: We’ll assess whether you have any hearing loss, what type of hearing loss it is, and its severity for each ear. This will include testing different sounds and how well you understand words in quiet and noisy situations.
- Discuss Results: After the evaluation, Dr. Heather will explain the results in a way that’s easy to understand. You can ask as many questions as you need and may request a copy of the results.
- Recommendation: Based on your results, Dr. Heather will make a personalized recommendation for you and answer all your questions.
We are here to ensure you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. Thank you for entrusting us with your ear health needs!
Who Should Get a Hearing Test?
Remember, getting a hearing test is a positive step towards caring for yourself. It’s about ensuring you don’t miss out on the important sounds and conversations in your life. Consider scheduling a hearing test soon if any of these situations sound familiar to you. Your well-being is worth it!
