Over 60% of Canadians between 19-79 have problems with their hearing health.
It’s important to know that hearing issues can strike at any point in life. They become more prevalent as you get older, but young people need to take any problems seriously. The best way to do this is by getting a hearing test.
If you’ve never had a hearing exam before, you might not know what to expect, which can be nerve-racking. In today’s post, we’ll quell some of the anxiety by telling you what to expect before your first mobile hearing clinic appointment.
Our services are a bit different than traditional hearing clinics, so keep reading and you’ll be ready for a hearing exam ASAP.
The Ears To You Difference
Part of the health anxiety of getting a hearing test done is having to go into an office with intimidating equipment. What Ears To You does differently than other hearing clinics is that we bring our mobile hearing clinic to you and perform the test in your home.
Start by booking your appointment online or over the phone. Choose a time that’s convenient for you and we’ll be there to give you a full diagnostic hearing test Nanaimo. Once complete, you’ll have an idea of lifestyle and prescription requirements, as well as any necessary follow-up care, such as a fitting for hearing aids.
Hearing Assessment and Ear Exam
So, what does a hearing assessment entail?
Don’t be afraid. Our hearing assessment will have you wearing a comfortable pair of headphones for about an hour. Our ear health professional will have you respond to a series of tones by pressing a button, which helps them determine the condition of your hearing.
The next step is to perform an ear exam. This painless test involves the same ear health professional looking inside your ears to determine the root cause of any issues that may have been found in the hearing assessment.
Conversation and Interview
Common causes of hearing issues include simple things like wax build-up and infection. If you’ve got a more serious condition, your ear health professional will go over the next steps.
During the post-exam interview, we’ll ask you a few questions about how your hearing health is affecting your day-to-day. Your answers, in conjunction with our findings from your assessment and exam results, will help us recommend treatment that fits your needs.
The entire process is over in less than 2 hours and you won’t have to set foot outside of your home!
Get a Convenient Hearing Test
Now that you understand what your first hearing test Nanaimo will entail, it’s time to book it and get your hearing health in order. Our mobile hearing clinic aims to provide a comprehensive hearing test for adults in Calgary, Vancouver Island, and the Lower Mainland who aren’t necessarily able to find a quality hearing clinic nearby.
Our tests can assess, diagnose, and monitor your hearing health. If you’ve been having issues with your hearing, don’t hesitate to book your appointment with Ears To You and get a more convenient hearing test.
