What's Included in a Comprehensive Hearing Exam?

A hearing exam at Hooter Hearing is far more than just a basic "beep test." Dr. Hooter conducts a full audiological evaluation to paint a complete picture of your hearing health.

The exam typically takes about 30 minutes and includes a medical history review, visual inspection of the ear canal, and multiple diagnostic tests. Results are explained clearly so you leave with a full understanding of your hearing status.

When should you get a hearing exam?

  • ✓ You're asking people to repeat themselves often
  • ✓ You have ringing or buzzing in your ears
  • ✓ TV volume keeps creeping up
  • ✓ You struggle to follow conversations in noise
  • ✓ It's been more than 3 years since your last test
  • ✓ You're over 50 — annual testing is recommended

🔬 Pure Tone Audiometry

Tests your hearing at different frequencies to map what you can and can't hear. Results are plotted on an audiogram.

🗣️ Speech Recognition Testing

Measures how well you understand speech — both in quiet and in background noise. Critical for real-world hearing assessment.

👂 Tympanometry

Evaluates middle ear function, detects fluid, and checks how your eardrum responds to pressure changes.

🩺 Otoscopic Examination

Visual inspection of the ear canal and eardrum to rule out wax buildup, infection, or structural issues.
