In addition to being an essential sense for communication, interaction, and response to everyday stimuli, hearing is integral for balance, awareness, and basic cognitive function. Having your hearing ability evaluated regularly determines your use of this sense, and can help prevent further health issues. If you’re ready to have your hearing evaluated, schedule a hearing test with your local Hearing Excellence representative now!

During your hearing test, a Hearing Excellence representative will first look into your ears to determine if there is any blockage (earwax, etc.), then place a small earphone in your ear to evaluate its health. Once these initial tests are complete, you’ll be placed in a soundproof room, wearing earphones, and be asked to respond to a variety of beeps and words. That’s it! To learn more about hearing tests, or to schedule a test of your own, visit Hearing Excellence’s detailed Hearing Test page or contact your local Hearing Excellence representative today! All hearing tests can be verified with a medical professional outside of Hearing Excellence.
