Offering Routine Hearing Tests
At The Audiology Center, we offer a variety of hearing tests and auditory processing assessments. We provide reports following your test that will include specific recommendations for the most appropriate follow-up care. Regular screenings from our audiologist doctors help ensure your hearing is sharp. Patients between the ages of 18 and 40 who are not experiencing hearing loss should have a hearing test every 3 to 5 years, while patients over the age of 60 should have a test every year. Patients who are regularly exposed to loud noises should also get a hearing test every year.
Speech testing helps evaluate how softly you can hear spoken words and how accurately you can recognize speech at a comfortable listening level, including in both quiet and noisy environments. Tympanometry is used to assess the function of the middle ear, including the eardrum and the small bones responsible for transmitting sound. Otoacoustic emissions, or OAEs, provide an objective way to evaluate cochlear function and can be useful in both pediatric and adult hearing assessments.
We also offer auditory processing assessments when appropriate to help evaluate how the brain interprets and organizes the sounds a person hears. Once testing is complete, our audiologists provide a consultation report with specific recommendations for appropriate follow-up care. These recommendations may include continued monitoring, additional evaluation, hearing protection, hearing aids, or other solutions based on your individual results and hearing needs.
Regular hearing evaluations are an important part of maintaining your overall hearing health. If you live in East Aurora and have noticed changes in your hearing, have difficulty understanding conversations, are frequently exposed to loud noise, or simply want to establish a baseline for your hearing, we're here to help.
Hearing Aids for East Aurora Patients
Our process begins with a thorough hearing aid evaluation to better understand your hearing needs, lifestyle, preferences, and test results. From there, our audiologists can recommend appropriate technology and professionally fit your hearing aids for greater comfort and performance. The Audiology Center offers advanced hearing aids from trusted manufacturers including Phonak and Oticon.
Proper fitting is an important part of getting the most from your hearing devices. We use advanced verification techniques, including real-ear measurement and Speech Mapping, to help ensure hearing aids are programmed appropriately for your individual hearing profile. Our care also continues after the initial fitting with ongoing follow-up appointments, adjustments, troubleshooting, and support as you adapt to your new devices. Whether you are exploring hearing aids for the first time or looking to upgrade your current technology, our team is here to help you find a solution that supports clearer, more confident hearing.
Hearing Aid Technology Options
Today’s hearing aids offer advanced features designed to make everyday listening more convenient, comfortable, and natural. Depending on your hearing needs and lifestyle, available options may include rechargeable devices, Bluetooth connectivity, advanced noise reduction, and speech-in-noise technology that can help make conversations easier to follow in busy environments.
Many modern hearing aids also offer smartphone connectivity, allowing compatible devices to stream phone calls, music, and other audio directly to your hearing aids while providing convenient control through mobile apps.
Signs It May Be Time for a Hearing Test
Changes in hearing can happen gradually, making them easy to overlook at first. If you find yourself having difficulty understanding conversations, turning the TV volume higher than you used to, or struggling to follow discussions in restaurants, social gatherings, or other noisy settings, it may be time to schedule a professional hearing test.
Other common signs include frequently asking people to repeat themselves, feeling like others are mumbling, experiencing ringing in the ears, or noticing any significant change in your ability to hear.
Why See a Doctor of Audiology?
Hearing loss can have many different causes, and the right solution depends on understanding both the type and severity of the problem. A Doctor of Audiology has advanced training in evaluating hearing and identifying how hearing loss may be affecting communication, daily activities, and overall quality of life.
