What To Expect From Your Hearing Journey With Us

Please feel comfortable knowing that if your hearing healthcare needs suggest outside medical intervention following our consultation, or if you would be best suited to pursue alternate forms of amplification (ie. a cochlear implant, middle ear implant, bone anchored hearing aid), you will be referred to a local specializing provider.

Interview

This is to help your provider determine the extent of your problem and uncover any specific areas that may require further attention. Your consultation will determine your personalized hearing goals as every patient’s needs are different.

The relationship you will have with your audiologist is ongoing. Your hearing may change over time, as well as your communication needs. It is important to develop a rapport from the beginning so we can best tailor our services to meet your expectations from the start.

Examination

To help your provider determine whether the difficulty you are experiencing could be caused by an obstruction or damage to the ear canal or ear drum. Your provider will use a special instrument called an otoscope or video otoscope to inspect the outer ear. As long as there is no impaction, or medical clearance is not needed, testing can be performed.
