Never been to an Hearing Care Provider before? The prospect of your first appointment might seem a little daunting. However, the process is straightforward and focused on helping you achieve optimal hearing health. Here’s a guide on what to expect at your initial audiology appointment.
Scheduling the Appointment
Once you’ve decided to prioritize your hearing health, the first step is scheduling an appointment online with your trusted Hearing Care Provider. At The Better Hearing Center, we are dedicated to providing patient-centered care that addresses your hearing problems and help to prevent further issues.
New Patient Intake Form
Before your appointment, you’ll likely be asked to download and fill out a new patient intake form. This form collects essential information about your medical history, any hearing concerns you might have, and your lifestyle. This information is crucial for the Hearing Care Provider to understand your unique needs and tailor their approach accordingly.
Warm Welcome and Preliminary Discussion
Upon arriving at the Better Hearing Center, you’ll receive a warm welcome from our staff. We understand this might be a new experience for you, and we’ll make every effort to ensure you feel comfortable. You’ll have an opportunity to discuss your immediate concerns or questions.
Comprehensive Hearing Evaluation
The heart of your audiology appointment is the comprehensive hearing evaluation. This series of tests is designed to assess the status of your hearing. The Hearing Care Provider will likely use a variety of methods, including pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and potentially other advanced assessments. These tests will help determine the extent of your hearing loss, if any, and its specific characteristics.
Personalized Treatment Options
Once the evaluation is complete, the Hearing Care Provider will discuss the results with you. They will explain the findings in a clear and understandable manner. If hearing loss is detected, we will go over the degree of loss, the potential causes, and how it might impact your daily life. The Hearing Care Provider will then present personalized treatment options. This might include recommendations for hearing aids, cochlear implants, assistive listening devices, or other interventions.
Ongoing Customer Service
At the Better Hearing Center, the relationship doesn’t end after your appointment. Every hearing device you purchase comes with a high level of ongoing customer service at no extra charge. This ensures that your chosen device continues to meet your expectations over time.
