What To Expect at Your Appointment

Congratulations on booking your hearing test! Understanding your hearing health is a crucial step towards enhancing your quality of life.

Your upcoming hearing test is an exciting step towards improved hearing and well-being. Here’s what to expect during your visit and answers to a few frequent questions you might have.

What to Expect at Your Hearing Test 

When you arrive, you'll be greeted warmly before diving into a personalized consultation about your hearing history and concerns. This gives us insight into your experiences and helps tailor our approach specifically to your needs.

The hearing test itself comprises several straightforward and non-invasive steps, conducted in a comfortable soundproof room:

Pure Tone Testing

You will listen to sounds at varying volumes and pitches through headphones. This test identifies the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies.

Speech Testing

This part assesses your ability to understand speech in both quiet and noisy environments, which mirrors daily listening experiences.

Tympanometry

This examines the middle ear, allowing us to determine how well your eardrum and ossicles are functioning.

Cognitive Screening

Unique to our clinic, this proactive step evaluates cognitive functions that can be impacted by hearing loss.

You will get clarity and full understanding about your results immediately, fostering a clear path forward for possible treatment plans if necessary. We're committed to getting it right for you, without pressure or rush.

  • Jill is fantastic, I recently had a wax build up and ear infection, she carefully diagnosed the issue and was able to remove the wax enabling me to hear again.

  • I can't say enough about Jill and her level of service to customers. After a recent adjustment to the charging box my remote became unpaired with the aids. Jill drove to my house to fix that problem.

  • I just had a great service experience with Great Lakes. A hearing aid failing on a Friday is never good but Meghan and Jill were able to make time for me.
