The diagnostic hearing exam
Beyond the Pathway, every appointment includes a thorough diagnostic hearing examination — otoscopy, audiometry, speech evaluation, and (when indicated) immittance testing.
Please bring a close relative — spouse, adult child, or close friend — to your appointment. A support network is invaluable when making decisions about your hearing.
- Otoscopy — visualize the ear canal, remove wax if needed
- Audiometry — identify type, shape, and degree of loss
- Speech evaluation — quiet and noise testing at varied volumes
- Immittance evaluation — eardrum movement and acoustic reflexes when indicated
- Education & recommendations — the conversation that turns results into a plan
Hearing tests aren't just for emergencies.
Experts recommend a hearing test every 10 years until age 50 — and every 3 years after.
- Hearing aids decrease listening-related fatigue.
- Untreated mild hearing loss is linked to a 2–3× increased risk of falls.
- Hearing aid use can improve working memory in adults.
- Untreated hearing loss correlates with emotional loneliness.
- Hearing aids improve social engagement and activity.
- Early detection means more options — for you and your loved ones.

Schedule for $99Hearing testing FAQ
Clear answers to the questions we hear most often.
How long does a hearing test take?
Plan for about 60 minutes. That gives us time for the six Pathway assessments and a clear review of results.
Do I need a referral?
Most people do not need a referral. If your insurance requires one, our team can tell you during scheduling.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring a list of medications, any past hearing test results, and your hearing aids if you have them. If possible, bring a family member who has noticed changes.
Will you check for earwax?
Yes. If earwax is blocking the ear canal, we will tell you the best next step so your test results are accurate.
What happens after the test?
You get a simple plan. We explain what your results mean, what matters most in daily life, and what options fit your goals.
How often should adults get a hearing test?
Many experts recommend a baseline test by age 50, then every 3 years. If you notice changes, do not wait.
