Professional Services

Your office visit will include the following professional services:

Patient History:

• Initially, our Patient Services Coordinator will complete a medical, social, hearing assessment. We need to fully understand your present needs: who you are, how you live, and what concerns you're having

Video Otoscopic Check:

• A specialist will inspect your ear canals using an electronic device that reproduces an enlarged image of the inside of your ear to a viewing monitor in our exam room

Hearing Evaluation:

• Our hearing professionals will look for wax impaction or other unusual pathogenic conditions. Because we will neither diagnose nor treat any physiological condition, if one exists, you will be immediately referred to an appropriate medical specialist

Hearing Test:

• A pure tone, audiometric threshold test is performed in our sound-proof booth. You will listen to tone signals at different frequency and amplitude levels to verify what you're hearing and at what loudness levels

Speech Assessment:

• Because you may be hearing sounds but not understanding words, a speech discrimination test is administered

Family Consultation:

• The outcome of all tests will be documented and evaluated. A licensed hearing specialist will take the time to adequately explain the results in understandable terms
