• When you arrive for your hearing exam, you will be greeted by our front office staff and asked to fill out several forms that will verify identity, insurance, personal information, and medical history.

• When your hearing exam begins, your hearing aid specialist will review key personal information with you and will ask you a few questions to discover the specific types of environments in which you may be experiencing hearing loss and hearing problems.

• Next, your hearing aid specialist may look into your ears by using an otoscope. This instrument is used to see the ear canal and the eardrum and whether or not there is earwax obstructing the canal. Sometimes the hearing aid specialist will have a video otoscope, so you can see inside your ear as well.
