Comprehensive Hearing Evaluation
We offer comprehensive hearing exams which will determine if you have any hearing loss present. The testing will also reveal the nature and degree of your hearing loss, which is one piece of the puzzle when considering amplification.
We also offer video otoscopy, which allows our patients to view their ear canal and any obstructions that may be present. Some hearing loss is only due to wax build up, which is easily remedied.
During the consultation appointment, Dr. Keaton and Dr. Freeman will assess your communication needs and recommend a specific style and type of hearing instrument if needed.
If a trial of hearing instruments is selected, patients have a minimum of 45 days to wear their technology before a final purchase is made. This trial period is important to both our patients and our doctors, as it is used to make sure that the best possible technology is selected. Sometimes there are things about your listening environment that can only be learned through real world experience. This is especially important to new hearing instrument users, as it can sometimes be an adjustment process for the patient and their auditory system. Dr. Keaton and Dr. Freeman will be there to walk you through this process with patience and strategies for success.
It is a very exciting time in the realm of hearing and tinnitus technology. Our patients are not only hearing better, but actually enjoy their hearing instruments!
