Take Action: Get your hearing tested. It’s easy!

THE EASIEST TEST YOU’LL EVER TAKE

A hearing test is quick, simple and painless. In most cases, the results are instantaneous—you will learn immediately if you have a hearing loss and what steps you should take to improve your hearing. There are different testing methods, but most start with brief questions about the health of your ear, your general health and your lifestyle. These questions determine the cause and nature of your possible hearing loss.

Remember that you are in the hands of a certified hearing aid specialist who has been trained for years in the advance diagnostic testing and wants to help you improve your quality of life. Do not hesitate to discuss your concerns or ask any questions.

A QUICK LOOK INTO THE EAR

The first thing your certified hearing aid specialist will do is take a look in your ear with an otoscope. This is done to examine the ear canal—the tunnel that leads from the outer ear to the eardrum. Inspection of the ear can provide a lot of information about your eardrum and the middle ear. Looking into the ear does not hurt.

THE ACTUAL HEARING TEST

A hearing test evaluates your hearing sensitivity and is performed by using an audiometer, which determines sensitivity at different frequencies.
