Understand the changes
Testing helps identify whether hearing loss is present, the sounds you may be missing, and how clearly you understand speech.
HEARING & HEARING AID EVALUATIONS
Better hearing
starts with
understanding yours.
The conversations. The connections. The everyday moments. If hearing them feels harder, an evaluation can help you understand why—and what comes next.

To you, and what matters to you.
WHY AN EVALUATION MATTERS
Small changes in hearing.
A real impact on daily life.
Hearing changes can happen gradually. You may notice that voices seem less clear or that keeping up in a group takes more effort. An evaluation replaces uncertainty with information, so you can make decisions about your hearing with confidence.
Find the right next step
Your results guide recommendations. That may mean hearing aids, communication strategies, monitoring your hearing, or a medical referral.
Stay part of the conversation
Addressing hearing difficulties can help you participate more comfortably at home, at work, and with the people you care about.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
It may be time
to check your hearing.
- You often ask people to repeat themselves.
- Conversations are harder in busy places.
- You turn the TV up higher than others prefer.
- You miss words, even when you hear a voice.
You don’t need to be certain you have hearing loss to ask for an evaluation.More about hearing changes
YOUR EVALUATION, STEP BY STEP
Know what
to expect.
Your appointment begins with a conversation. Your audiologist selects the tests that fit your symptoms and hearing history, then explains what the results mean for you.
A hearing test isn’t a pass-or-fail exam.
About audiologic evaluations It’s a way to understand how you hear and where support may help.
- 01
We start by listening to you
Tell us about the situations that feel difficult, any ringing in your ears, and changes you’ve noticed. We’ll review your health history, medications, noise exposure, and hearing goals.
- 02
We check your ears
Your audiologist examines your ear canals and eardrums for concerns such as earwax or blockage. Findings may point to a need for medical care or additional testing.
- 03
We measure how you hear
You’ll respond to sounds at different pitches and volumes and may repeat words to assess speech understanding. Your audiologist may also check middle-ear function or how you hear speech in noise.
- 04
We make sense of the results together
We’ll explain your audiogram—the chart of your hearing levels—and discuss how the findings relate to your daily life. You’ll have time to ask questions and talk through the next steps.
BEFORE YOU VISIT
A little preparation.
A more useful conversation.
Bring your questions. We’re here to help you understand your options.
- Write down what you’ve noticed.
Think of a few specific listening situations you’d like to improve.
- Bring relevant information.
A medication list, earlier hearing test results, and any hearing aids you currently use can be helpful.
- Consider bringing someone you trust.
A family member or friend can share observations and help you remember the discussion.
