It is recommended that you have your hearing screened at least once a year, especially if you are over the age of 40.<\/p>\n

Hearing Evaluations<\/b><\/p>\n

A hearing evaluation can often be completed in 3 Easy Steps in as little as 15 minutes<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You will be asked to wear a small set of foam earbuds placed gently in the ear canal.<\/li>\n
  2. With your earbuds in place, you will be asked to quietly listen to a variety of soft tones at different frequencies.<\/li>\n
  3. You will also be asked to repeat different words to assess your ear and brain\u2019s ability to interpret speech.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dr. Griffith may also evaluate the health of your eardrum and middle ear at this time to help determine if there are any medical issues of the ear that may be corrected.<\/p>\n

    Hearing Aid Fittings<\/b><\/p>\n

    At the hearing aid fitting, you will receive the hearing aids you selected and be trained on their use and function. Your new hearing aids will be programmed based on a prescription that is specific to your ear and hearing loss. Dr. Griffith may make adjustments after you try the hearing aids to make sure the settings and fit are ideal for you.<\/p>\n

    Before Dr. Griffith leaves the appointment, he will thoroughly counsel you on your hearing aids.\u00a0 This will include but is not limited to: cleaning, replacing hearing aid batteries, replacing hearing aid filters and domes, and adding program features and\/or Bluetooth\/FM accessories associated with your hearing aids.\u00a0 This training can and likely will be revisited for as long as you have your hearing aids. We want you to know how to care for your hearing aids to ensure that your hearing aids last as long as possible.<\/p>\n

In some cases, sound alert devices are beneficial and can provide a visual alert where an auditory signal may not be heard or recognized.\u00a0 Your Audiologist can help discuss your options for hearing aids and or assistive listening devices at your appointment.<\/p>\n
