Comprehensive hearing evaluations for the people of Cornelius
Hearing Tests in Cornelius, NC
We believe in treating the person, not just the hearing loss. This is why we offer comprehensive communication needs assessment along with diagnostic hearing exams. This approach allows our hearing specialist to identify not just hearing loss, but your unique hearing challenges, listening environments, preferences, and goals.
During your hearing test, we’ll evaluate:
-
Middle Ear Function:
Tympanometry and acoustic reflexes help us understand how the eardrum and middle ear are working.
-
Hearing Sensitivity:
Tone testing across frequencies to identify where hearing may be reduced.
-
Speech Understanding:
We measure how clearly you hear words in quiet and in background noise.

Your Listening Priorities:
We discuss which environments are most important to you, such as meetings, family gatherings, restaurants, or outdoor activities.
Challenges You Face:
We explore where you notice the most difficulty, like soft voices, background noise, distance, or certain types of speakers.
Goal-Based Recommendations:
We use your goals to shape next steps, ensuring any treatment or technology aligns with the life you want to hear clearly.
Cognitive Screening:
A brief, research‑based screening that helps us understand how your brain processes information. This adds important context to your listening challenges and ensures our recommendations support both hearing and cognitive wellness.
