CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR HEARING?

A quick, easy way to check in on your hearing health.

Not sure how well you’re hearing these days? You don’t need to wait for a problem to get checked. A hearing screening is a fast, no-pressure way to find out where your hearing stands right now— whether you’re simply curious, want a baseline for future comparison, or just want to be proactive about your health.

HEARING SCREENINGS

WHAT IS A HEARING SCREENING

A hearing screening is a brief check (typically done in 15 minutes) that helps us determine whether your hearing is in normal limits, or whether a more complete evaluation is recommended. There’s no commitment to hearing aids or other solutions— just good information.

WHO SHOULD GET A HEARING SCREENING

Anyone over the age of 40

Just like vision or blood pressure, your hearing can change gradually over time. Getting baseline testing in your 40s means we’ll have something to compare to if changes happen down the line.

People who work or play in loud environments often

Regular screenings are especially important if you’re around high noise levels often— even if your not noticing hearing changes… yet.

People who have a family history of hearing differences

hearing loss has a strong genetic link. Should you have loved ones effected by hearing loss (especially later in life), it’s always good to get baseline testing for yourself before you start noticing any problems.

Is this the right appointment for me?

1.

A Conversation that Centers Around You
(Real World Listening Needs Assessment)
We’ll start by chatting about what you’ve noticed, what feels more challenging, and what matters most to you when it comes to hearing and communication. This helps us shape the evaluation around your needs— not just the numbers on a chart.
2.

A Look Inside Your Ears
(Otoscopy)
Using a small lighted tool called an otoscope, we’ll gently check your ear canals and eardrums to make sure everything looks healthy and clear. This part is quick, easy, and completely painless.
3.

A Gentle Pressure Test (Tympanometry)
You’ll feel a small change in pressure in your ear—kind of like taking off in an airplane. This helps us see how your middle ear is functioning, and it only takes a few seconds.
4.

Listening for Beeps
(Pure Tone Audiometry)
This is the part most people think of as a “hearing test.” You’ll wear headphones and listen to tones at different volumes and pitches. When you hear one, you press a button or raise your hand. It’s how we figure out the softest sounds you can hear.
5.

Understanding Words and Sentences
(Speech Audiometry)
You’ll listen to and repeat some words and sentences—sometimes in quiet, sometimes with background noise. This tells us how clearly you understand speech, which often says more about real-world hearing than tones alone.
6.

After the Evaluation
Once we’re finished, we’ll go over your results and build out Your Hearing Profile right away—in plain language, at your pace.

If everything looks great, wonderful—we’ll discuss ways to keep it that way! If we notice changes, we’ll talk about what they might mean for you and explore next steps together. That might include strategies to make communication easier, regular check-ins, or technology like hearing aids—if and when it feels right for you.

NO PRESSURE— JUST SUPPORT.

We’re here to give you the full picture, answer your questions, and help you stay connected to the people and experiences you care about most. Whether it’s your first time getting your hearing checked or you're following up on something you’ve noticed, we’ll make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and supported every step of the way.
