Comprehensive Assessment and Evaluation of Hearing Loss
Since hearing loss has become the third most common health issue in the US, behind arthritis and heart disease, you would think that hearing tests would also be a priority equal to having blood pressure and cholesterol screenings or annual checkups.

Take Control of Your Hearing Health — Before Hearing Loss Takes Control of You
If you’re ready to get ahead of hearing loss before it takes over your life, it’s time to ask yourself, “Who is able to do a hearing test near me?”
Our audiologists at Denton Hearing Health Care have the experience, expertise, and equipment to accurately identify the type and severity of your hearing loss through a comprehensive hearing assessment and then provide advanced solutions to address your needs.
What You Can Expect during a Hearing Assessment
A Friendly Conversation
We start our hearing assessments with a conversation about you, which provides us with an opportunity to get to know you and put you at ease, but we also learn about any genetic tendencies, medical conditions, and medications that might be contributing to your hearing challenges as well as occupational and lifestyle activities that put your hearing at greater risk.
Transparency is important to us, so your audiologist will give you a chance to ask questions or express concerns about your hearing, optimization options, and/or the hearing care services we provide.
Physical Examination of Your Ears
The next phase of your hearing evaluation will include a physical examination of your ears using an otoscope (a magnifying glass with a light on a tapered tip). Your hearing care professional will evaluate skin conditions, earwax accumulation, inflammation, or the presence of other obstructions in your ear canal as well as examine the structural health of the eardrum.
Discussing Your Results
Your comprehensive hearing assessment will end with an honest discussion about your test results and what they mean. We’ll discuss the options available to maintain or improve your hearing, which could include the use of hearing protection for work or certain activities and hobbies, changes to medications, or lifestyle habits as well as the need for hearing aids or other interventions.
Your input during this process is an essential element in helping to establish a viable hearing care partnership that is based on honesty and trust.

Hearing Tests during a Hearing Assessment
Comprehensive hearing assessments can include any or all of a series of hearing tests in order to pinpoint your specific type of hearing loss and its level of severity, including:
Tympanometry
A gentle change in ear pressure helps measure how well your eardrum moves. This test can reveal fluid buildup or a ruptured eardrum — key signs of middle ear problems.
Pure Tone Audiometry
You’ll listen to a series of tones through headphones or a bone conductor to find the quietest sounds you can hear across different pitches. This test pinpoints both the type and degree of your hearing loss.
Speech Audiometry
This test evaluates how well you understand speech. During speech reception threshold (SRT) testing, you’ll repeat simple two-syllable words at descending volumes to find the softest level you can clearly hear. Your speech discrimination score (SDS) then measures how accurately you recognize words at a comfortable volume, showing how clearly you process speech.
Otoacoustic Emissions
This quick, painless test measures tiny echoes your inner ear (cochlea) naturally produces in response to sound. By placing a soft tip in your ear and playing gentle clicks or tones, we can see how well your hair cells are working — often used to confirm results when other tests show variations.

Great people, easy to work with and easily available. I’m glad I got my hearing aids and that I was patient enough to get accustomed to them. I very seldom have to ask people, especially my grands, to repeat themselves anymore.
