What happens during your hearing evaluation?

Your hearing evaluation is a 90-minute appointment focused on understanding your hearing, your everyday communication needs, and your next steps. Here’s what to expect before and during your visit.

Preparing for your visit

Please allow 90 minutes for your hearing evaluation.

You can complete your intake forms online before your appointment. If paper forms are more convenient, please arrive 20 minutes early to complete them at our office.

We encourage you to bring a family member or loved one. It’s optional, but they can share observations about your hearing and help you discuss your communication goals.

We are out of network with all insurance plans, but we can submit a claim as a courtesy. Please bring your health insurance card if you’d like us to do so. Claim submission does not guarantee reimbursement.

We start by listening to you

We’ll discuss your hearing concerns, hearing and medical history, and the situations where communication feels difficult. Together, we’ll identify what you want to hear more clearly and the goals that matter most to you. If you bring a loved one, their observations can help guide that conversation.

Your hearing evaluation

We’ll examine your ears and evaluate your hearing, including how well you understand speech in background noise. We’ll explain each step along the way so you know what to expect. Learn more about our hearing evaluations.

Understanding your results and next steps

The final 30 minutes of your appointment are reserved for reviewing your results and discussing what they mean for your everyday hearing. We’ll connect the findings to your concerns and communication goals, explain our recommendations, and outline your next steps. When appropriate, this conversation can include hearing aid options.
