This is the staple of the audiology world. The exam always includes:

• Video otoscopy (a visual inspection of the ear canals)
• Pure tone air and bone conduction audiometry (the traditional “raise-your-hand-when-you-hear-the-beep” hearing test”)
• Speech threshold and word recognition testing

Depending on your concerns, clinical history, and test results, the exam may also    include: 

• Tympanometry (a test of middle ear function)
• Acoustic Reflexes (evaluation of the auditory nerves)
• Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (a test of inner hair cell function)

The average person waits 7 years to pursue help after discovering they have a hearing loss. Ready to proceed with amplification? Talk to our doctor about your options! We work tirelessly to find the right hearing aids for you. *Please note* that a hearing evaluation will be required prior to a hearing aid consultation. If you have had an evaluation done previously at a different location, we require the exam to be less than 6 months old.

Clarity Audiology provides state-of-the-art hearing technology. Our hearing aids have all the bells and whistles, including rechargeability, Bluetooth connectivity, and speech-in-noise processing. We adhere to best practices while fitting hearing aids, meaning we use verification methods to confirm your devices are providing the amplification your hearing loss requires.

Does your hearing aid sound or act funky? No problem! Clarity Audiology is capable of reprogramming and repairing hearing aids from all 5 major hearing aid manufacturers (Starkey, Oticon, Phonak, Signia/Sivantos, ReSound). Didn’t purchase your hearing aids from us? No problem! We are still able to service your devices! *Please note* that hearing aids purchased at some locations are “locked”, meaning Clarity Audiology does not have access to programming rights. Some of these retailers include: Beltone, MiracleEar, Costco, and devices purchased online/over-the-counter. We can still clean these devices, but we are unable to send them in for repair or reprogram them.
