Adult Hearing Testing

Hearing loss is the third leading cause of health problems in individuals over the age of 50. The only two other health factors to surpass hearing are arthritis and hypertension.

Having a complete and thorough hearing evaluation is an easy and quick testing procedure. Dr. Jill Gordon will conduct a comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessment to determine the type and severity of your hearing problem. You will be asked pertinent questions about your medical and hearing history, and a visual examination of your eardrums and ear canals will be completed. Then you will be seating in a specially built sound-treated room while high technology earphones are placed in or over your ears. You will be asked to listen to a series of soft tones in each ear and indicate each time you hear the signal. Your understanding of speech words will also be evaluated. Special equipment may be used to evaluate other important aspects of your hearing abilities. At the completion of tests, your audiologist will sit down with you and thoroughly explain the results and help you understand your current hearing condition.
