Beyond The Beep Test

Basic hearing evaluations, everyone thinks of the “beep test”, well that’s exactly what you’ll receive, a basic evaluation of your hearing. They simply tell us the lowest level that you can hear a beep. The evaluation tells us little to nothing about how you hear in the real world.

Hearing connects you to the world around you and hearing properly is the foundation for excellent communication, helping to strengthen our relationships with our loved ones.

Your Comprehensive Hearing Assessment will go far beyond what a standard hearing evaluation will be able to deduce and provide real world evidence to support that.

Comprehensive Cognitive & Hearing Assessments

Understanding How Hearing Loss Affects Your Life

Studies have shown that untreated hearing problems create barriers to communication, can lead to changes in brain cognition or brain function, can put you at a greater risk of falling, and can lead to social isolation, anxiety, fatigue, and depression. Underlying issues such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes can further cause hearing issues.

We want to know all about how your hearing difficulties affect you and your relationships and how you feel about it, not just how they affect your communication. You hear with your ears, but you listen with your brain.

Having this information can lead to better recommendations, more effective treatment options and better outcomes to new patients, and those who have struggled with hearing aid usage in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Comprehensive Hearing Assessment take?

Because we want to provide you with the best answers to your questions, a Comprehensive Hearing Assessment takes longer than a standard hearing test, appointments typically span between 1½ to 2 hours.

Do I need to bring or do anything prior to my visit?

Simply complete the intake paperwork and questionnaires that were either mailed or emailed to you prior to your visit. Bring any completed paperwork along with your insurance cards and picture ID to the appointment. We ask that you be well rested, wear comfortable clothing and footwear and if you wear glasses, please bring those with you as well. You may wish to bring a family member or close friend with you to the test, this is completely normal, and it can be comforting to have someone with you who communicates closely with you to answer some questions regarding your communication.

What is the difference between your evaluation and someone else?

This assessment was designed specifically to evaluate any changes in both our auditory, brain and balance systems. Changes in these systems gradually become worse as we age and sometimes creep up on us. It’s important to have them fully evaluated to establish a baseline so that moving forward you have something to compare to if additional changes are noted. Being proactive when it comes to your auditory health can reduce the risks of cognitive decline, falling, tinnitus and can affect your overall success with treatment.
