Hearing Screening

Hearing loss is common and often goes untreated. A hearing test can detect problems early, protect your long-term health, and help you find the right treatment. Schedule a hearing test or take our free online hearing test today.

Hearing Tests Can Help Detect Hearing Loss Before It Progresses

As the third most experienced physical condition, hearing loss is a major public health concern, affecting people of all ages. In the US alone, an estimated 48 million individuals suffer from some degree of hearing loss; that’s 1 out of 5 people. By age 65, that rises to 1 out of 3 people. And unfortunately, most people neither realize they have some form of hearing loss, nor seek treatment even if they suspect they might. But we here at Hearing Unlimited want to change those statistics by encouraging everyone to schedule a hearing test.

What Happens During a Hearing Test?

During a hearing test, a professional hearing healthcare provider will assess your ability to hear sounds and your sensitivity to noises. The appointment starts with questions regarding your hearing and lifestyle, followed by a physical exam of your ears, then a test that assesses your auditory function. The entire process is easy, painless and straightforward.

After your hearing test has concluded, your provider will discuss your test results with you. If they determine you have some form of hearing loss, they will first explain the type of hearing loss. Then, they will put together a treatment plan unique to your situation and lay out any immediate next steps such as a hearing aid fitting. If they do not detect any hearing loss, the provider will schedule your next routine hearing test to continue monitoring your hearing health.

My hearing evaluation was done in a friendly and comfortable manner. I was told that my hearing is normal, which is what I thought, and no need to return for 2 years.
