Hearing Tests
Why should I get my hearing tested?
Hearing loss can sneak up on you, especially after age 50, but early detection is key to protecting your overall health.
With over 33 million Americans affected, it’s essential to get a baseline hearing screening followed by annual check-ups. Hearing loss is the third most common health issue in older adults, yet only 30% of those with hearing difficulties use hearing aids. Don’t wait for symptoms—early detection lets your specialist monitor your hearing and guide you toward the best solution for your health and well-being.
What to Expect During Your Visit
At Beltone, we provide a quick, painless hearing evaluation that includes a video ear scan and a comprehensive hearing test.
- Video Ear Scan: We check for earwax or other issues using a video otoscope, allowing you to see inside your ear on a large screen. If excessive wax is found, we may remove it or refer you for further care.
- Comprehensive Hearing Test: Our state-of-the-art equipment gives precise results with no co-pays or obligation to buy. We assess your hearing across different sound levels, frequencies, and speech comprehension in various environments:
- Pure Tone Testing: Measures hearing in each ear with earphones, and results are charted electronically.
- Bone Conduction Testing: Identifies the cause of hearing loss, especially if impacted earwax is present.
After the tests, we’ll review your results. If your hearing is normal, we recommend annual check-ups. If hearing loss is detected, we’ll discuss possible solutions like hearing aids.
- Speech Audiometry: We assess how well you understand speech, including in noisy environments, with the help of familiar voices. Beltone ensures an accurate and comfortable hearing evaluation every time!
