Many people put off a hearing test because they’re unsure what to expect. At Bowles Hearing Care Services, our evaluations are simple, comfortable, and designed to give you clear answers about your hearing health.
What Is a Hearing Evaluation?
A hearing evaluation is more than just “listening to beeps.” It’s a comprehensive process where our licensed audiologists and hearing specialists measure how well you hear sounds at different pitches and volumes.
Step-by-Step: What Happens During Your Appointment
- Consultation – We start with a conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and any concerns you’ve noticed.
- Otoscopy – A quick look inside your ears to check for wax or blockages.
- Pure-Tone Audiometry – Headphones are used to play tones at different frequencies to measure the softest sounds you can hear.
- Speech Testing – Helps us understand how well you can hear and recognize spoken words.
- Results Review – We explain your results in plain language and, if needed, recommend treatment options like hearing aids or ear wax removal.
Why Regular Hearing Tests Matter
Hearing loss often develops slowly. Annual testing helps catch changes early so you can address them before they interfere with your work, relationships, or quality of life.
