Full Hearing Evaluation

While a simple hearing screening can offer small clues about your hearing, a hearing screening is no substitute for a full hearing evaluation. It is ALWAYS advisable to obtain a more in-depth full hearing evaluation from your local hearing care professional. Medical conditions to earwax may be discovered with a proper exam.  We go through a series of audiometric testing using state-of-the-art audiometers and sound-booths. Your hearing care professional will interpret your audiogram, compare the results to those of your peers and offer accurate solutions. 

 

Audiogram

What is an audiogram? The audiogram is a graph which gives a detailed description of your hearing ability and which can be described as a picture of your sense of hearing. A hearing evaluation performed by our hearing health care professional which comprises a number of tests which can help to determine whether or not you are suffering from hearing loss. The results from the hearing tests are often displayed in the form of an audiogram.

Based on the audiogram, among other things, our hearing health care professional can tell whether or not you are suffering from hearing loss and, if so, determine how serious it is.

If you are suffering from hearing loss it is best to have our hearing health care professional explain the results of the audiogram to you, giving you the best possible understanding of your particular problem so a solution to your specific hearing loss can be addressed and customized to your need.
