Comprehensive Hearing Assessments: A Vital Step Toward Better Hearing
A hearing assessment is a simple, non-invasive process that provides valuable insights into your hearing health. At Precision Hearing Care, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluate your hearing and understand how any impairment may be affecting your daily life.
During your examination, we will:
- Review your medical history to identify potential factors contributing to hearing loss.
- Use advanced diagnostic technology to assess your ability to hear different volumes and frequencies.
- Evaluate speech comprehension to determine how well you process conversations in various environments.
If hearing loss is detected, our goal is to provide you with clear, detailed information so you can make an informed decision about the best treatment options. Even if you aren’t experiencing noticeable symptoms, regular hearing assessments are highly recommended to preserve your natural hearing and detect potential issues early.
At Precision Hearing Care, we are committed to understanding your unique hearing needs and providing effective solutions to enhance your listening experience. Schedule your hearing assessment today and take the first step toward better hearing health.

The Evaluation Process
At Precision Hearing Care, we believe in transparent, patient-centered care. During your initial consultation, we take the time to explain our process in detail, ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
This visit includes a comprehensive discussion about:
- Your medical and family history to identify potential risk factors.
- Current medications that may impact your hearing.
- Your lifestyle and treatment goals to tailor a solution that fits your needs.
We also address any questions or concerns you may have about hearing loss, hearing aids, or treatment options. By establishing clear and open communication, we build a foundation of trust and personalized care as we begin your journey to better hearing together.
Following your initial consultation, we move into the evaluation phase, where we conduct a series of tests to establish a baseline for your hearing health. These assessments help us monitor your progress and determine the effectiveness of any recommended treatment.
Your comprehensive hearing exam may include:
- Visual Inspection with an Otoscope – A thorough examination of the ear canal and eardrum to check for blockages, infections, or abnormalities.
- Familiar Voice Test – An assessment of how well you hear and recognize speech in a conversational setting.
- Pure-Tone Screening – A test using different tones and frequencies through headphones to determine your hearing thresholds.
- Speech Testing – Measures your ability to understand speech at varying volume levels.
- Speech-in-Noise Testing (QuickSIN) – Evaluates your ability to distinguish speech in noisy environments.
- Tympanometry Testing – Uses a gentle puff of air to check for issues like fluid buildup, a perforated eardrum, or earwax obstruction.
- Acoustic Reflex Tests – Assesses how the small muscles in the middle ear react to different sounds to help identify potential auditory concerns.
This detailed evaluation allows us to fully understand your hearing capabilities and gather the necessary data to recommend the best treatment options. At Precision Hearing Care, we prioritize patient education, guiding you through each test, explaining your results, and ensuring you understand their significance. Your hearing health is our priority, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
At Precision Hearing Care, our goal is to empower you with clear, comprehensive information so you can make an informed decision about your hearing health. We take a transparent approach, explaining all available treatment options and answering any questions or concerns you may have.
