What to Expect at a Hearing Test
A hearing test is an important step in recognizing and managing your hearing health.
Hearing tests are designed to help identify the level of hearing loss that you may have.
The purpose of a hearing test is to provide our audiologist with information about your ability to hear different sounds at different frequencies and volumes.
Health History
When you schedule an appointment for a hearing exam, you should be prepared to answer questions similar to those you may have encountered when visiting a medical professional for a different issue.

Hearing tests are painless exams that only take about 30 minutes or so, depending on what kind of tests you're having done.
It's important for anyone who has the slightest suspicions or experiences any symptoms of possible hearing impairment - such as difficulty understanding conversations or ringing in their ears - to get their hearing checked out as soon as possible.
Having regular hearing tests enables you to monitor your own health, identify any potential issues early on, and receive treatment before they become more severe, increasing the risk of other complications in the future.
