Question 1

Do I need a hearing test?

Accepted Answer

Every adult, regardless of age, should have a baseline hearing test at least once. If you notice an increased listening effort during conversation, while watching TV/movies, or experience ringing in the ear, a hearing test is strongly recommended. Annual checks are highly recommended over the age of 65.

Question 2

What happens during a hearing test?

Accepted Answer

You will respond to a series of beeps and words, then be challenged to follow conversation in a noisy restaurant-like setting.

Question 3

Can I take hearing aids home the same day?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, you can take your hearing aids home the same day as the test. For some clients, depending on their needs, we may require an additional appointment.
