Hearing Tests and Evaluation
Hearing Tests and Evaluation
Hearing tests can show you more about your hearing health. Our comprehensive hearing evaluations will help us determine the type of hearing loss you have, what sounds you’re missing, and what treatment options will match your unique hearing needs.
Why Get a hearing test?
Getting a hearing test can tell you more about any hearing loss you may be experiencing. But it isn't just about addressing existing concerns. Regular hearing tests are a proactive step for monitoring your hearing health.
Early Detection
A hearing test allows for early detection of hearing loss, providing an opportunity for timely intervention and management.
Preventative Auditory Care
A hearing test is an important part of preventive care. It helps us identify potential risks, enabling us to provide personalized recommendations to maintain your hearing health.
Tailored Solutions for Your Needs
A hearing test forms the foundation for understanding your unique hearing profile. This knowledge allows us to recommend personalized solutions that address your specific needs and preferences.

Who Should get a hearing test
Hearing tests aren't just for those experiencing hearing issues. At Tru Clarity, we advocate for inclusive auditory care, and here's who should consider getting a hearing test:
Adults Over 50
Hearing tests become particularly important as we age. Regular check-ups help monitor any changes and address potential issues promptly.
Individuals Exposed to Loud Noises
If you’re around loud noises, either at work or during recreational activities, regular hearing tests can help you assess and mitigate the impact on your hearing health.
Those with a Family History of Hearing Loss
If hearing loss runs in your family, scheduling regular hearing tests can help you stay ahead of hearing loss.
Anyone Experiencing Changes in Hearing
If you notice changes in your hearing, such as difficulty understanding conversations or ringing in your ears, it's important to book a hearing test right away.
What to expect during a hearing test
Learn what to expect during our comprehensive hearing evaluation process:
Initial Interview
We start by getting to know you, and asking questions about your hearing history, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have. This initial conversation helps us tailor the evaluation to your unique needs.
Physical Exam
A quick look in the ears comes next. This includes checking for earwax buildup, blockages, or any visible abnormalities that might affect your hearing.
Hearing Tests
During the evaluation, you’ll do a series of hearing tests, such as pure-tone audiometry and speech-in-noise testing, to assess various aspects of your auditory abilities. These tests will show the softest sounds you can hear at various pitches. It can also help us learn more about the type of hearing loss you have and what treatment options may be right for you.
Reviewing the Audiogram
The results of the test are shown on an audiogram, a visual representation of your hearing capabilities. This provides a clear picture of your hearing thresholds at different frequencies.
Recommendations
Based on the evaluation, we discuss the results with you, explaining any hearing loss and recommending appropriate solutions. This could include further medical evaluation, hearing aids, assistive listening devices, or other treatment options.
