Hearing Tests and Services in Newport News, Chesapeake, and Smithfield

How can I test my hearing? Every day you wake up is a test, and every conversation with family or friends is a test too. It's easy to assume everything sounds fine based on what you hear. Of course, the big problem is that there is a good chance you’ve already forgotten what you are missing. That happens to the best of us and is why a professional hearing test is so important.

A professional hearing test will reveal what frequencies and types of sounds you've been missing. Your test results will be recorded on an easy-to-read graph, called an audiogram. We'll explain the results with you in detail, answering any questions and together discuss your options.

There are many ways to test your hearing, including:

• Tympanometry
• Pure-tone audiometry
• Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) testing

If you are experiencing hearing loss, even a mild loss call to schedule a hearing test and a visual inspection of your ears. it could be something as simple as earwax.
