Hearing Tests

Audiology & Hearing Centers has audiologists, hearing aid specialists and hearing aid specialists providing hearing tests in Florida & Georgia.

A hearing test checks how well you hear different sounds. At Audiology & Hearing Centers, we use advanced tools to measure your hearing and find any problems. If you have trouble hearing, our team can help you understand your options.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your hearing test will include listening to sounds through headphones and answering simple questions. Our hearing experts will explain everything before and after the test.

Why Would I Need a Hearing Test?

Hearing loss often develops gradually, making it easy to miss the early signs. Some common red flags include:

Difficulty following conversations, especially in noisy places
Asking people to repeat themselves often
Turning up the volume on the TV or phone
Hearing ringing, buzzing, or humming sounds (tinnitus)

If you notice these signs, it may be time to schedule a professional hearing evaluation.

What Are the Types of Hearing Tests?

Our comprehensive evaluations may include:

Pure-Tone Audiometry – Identifies the quietest sounds you can detect at various frequencies.
Speech Audiometry – Determines how well you recognize and understand speech at different volumes.
Tympanometry – Detects middle ear issues such as fluid buildup, infections, or eardrum problems

Three Main Types of Hearing Loss

Sensorineural Hearing Loss – The most common type, caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. It is usually permanent and managed with hearing aids or, in some cases, cochlear implants.
Conductive Hearing Loss – Occurs when sound cannot pass through the outer or middle ear. Often treatable with medication or surgery.
Mixed Hearing Loss – A combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss, requiring customized treatment.

A hearing test is safe, simple, and painless. During your appointment, you’ll wear headphones and listen to a series of sounds at different pitches and volumes. Your provider will also review your hearing history and check the health of your ears. Most tests take 30 to 45 minutes to complete.

After testing, our team will explain your results using an audiogram, a visual chart of your hearing ability. If hearing loss is detected, we’ll discuss the best treatment options for you, whether that’s hearing aids, protective strategies, or a referral for medical care.
