What to know

A clearer look at this service

At Audiology Associates of Westchester, the hearing test is a full diagnostic evaluation rather than a screening. Our audiologists measure the softest tones you can hear across the pitch range and how well you understand speech, then check the eardrum and middle ear. What the results mean for the rooms you are in gets explained before anyone talks about devices.

Call our offices today to schedule a thorough hearing test and learn more about your specific hearing loss needs!

Initial Hearing Consultation

Helpful notes

Bring current hearing aids if you use them.

Bring a family member if they can help describe communication changes.

Tell the team about tinnitus, dizziness, ear fullness, noise exposure, or sudden changes.

At the start of the appointment, one of our audiologists will learn more about you and ask you questions that will help us learn more about your needs. After that, we will look in your ears to see if there are obstructions. The first hearing consultation will help us find out about any hearing loss, the causes and degree of hearing loss, and the location of hearing loss. Finally, we will discuss possible treatment options.

Types of Hearing Tests

Audiometric Test

An audiometric test uses tones of various intensity and speed to find out the extent of any hearing loss.

Tympanometry

Tympanometry tests the ear, eardrum, and conduction bones by putting pressure on the ear canal.

OAEs

Acoustically evoked otoacoustic emission testing (OAE) gives us a better idea of the health of the hair cells of your outer and inner ear.

After your hearing test is complete, we will review your audiogram with you to show you the degree of hearing loss. We will also discuss treatments with you so that you understand all of your options and can make the decision that’s best for you.

A shaded band curves from the upper left to the lower right, marking where the sounds of ordinary speech fall.

Decision guide

Choose this appointment with confidence

This is a good fit when

  • You can hear people talking but miss words, especially in groups or noise.
  • Family members notice the TV, phone, or repeated questions before you do.
  • You have tinnitus, fullness, dizziness, or a meaningful change in hearing.

This may not be the first step when

  • Sudden one-sided hearing loss or severe dizziness that needs urgent medical care.
  • A device-only issue when your hearing aid simply needs cleaning or repair.

What the visit should clarify

  • Review of hearing history, communication goals, symptoms, and listening environments.
  • Diagnostic testing selected for the concern, with results explained in plain language.
  • Recommendations for hearing aids, tinnitus care, monitoring, or referral when needed.

Useful questions to ask

  • What do my results mean for speech clarity in noise?
  • Do I need hearing aids now, monitoring, or medical follow-up?
  • Which situations should I track before the next appointment?
