Clear Answers About Your Hearing Start Here

When hearing feels less reliable, it’s common to wonder what’s actually going on. Is it volume, clarity, background noise, or something else entirely? A hearing evaluation at Active Hearing Health helps replace guesswork with real information so you can make informed decisions about next steps.

A hearing test or hearing aid screening helps answer important questions, such as:

  • Are hearing changes present, or is something else contributing to listening difficulty?
  • Which sounds or speech cues are hardest to hear?
  • Are both ears working similarly, or is one ear more affected?
  • Why do certain environments feel more exhausting than others?

Understanding these details helps explain real-life listening challenges and supports better decision-making.

Screening Options Available at Active Hearing Health

Based on your concerns, listening environments, and goals, we may recommend one or more of the following evaluations:

Audiometry

Identifies how quietly you can hear sounds across different pitches and volumes.

Speech Testing

Examines how clearly spoken words are understood in quiet settings and in background noise.

Tympanometry

Reviews eardrum movement to identify pressure changes, fluid, or middle ear issues.

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)

Evaluates how sound signals move from the ear through the auditory nerve to the brain.

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)

Measures inner ear responses to assess how well sound-sensitive cells are functioning.

Cognitive Screening (MOCA)

Offers additional context about how listening effort may relate to attention, memory, or processing speed.

Balance Testing

Assesses how the inner ear, vision, and brain coordinate to support balance and stability.

Fall Risk Screening

Evaluates factors that may increase your risk of falling, including balance, strength, and stability, to help identify concerns early and support safer mobility.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your visit at Active Hearing Health begins with a conversation. We talk about what you’re noticing, when listening feels hardest, and how hearing fits into your daily routines. This discussion helps ensure the screenings and recommendations we provide are focused on what matters most to you.

Testing is non-invasive and designed for comfort. You may listen to tones, repeat words, or respond to sounds through headphones. A visual inspection of the ear may also be included when appropriate.

Your results are reviewed with you in clear, plain language. Rather than focusing on charts alone, we explain how findings relate to real-world communication.

When Hearing Testing Is Especially Helpful

A hearing evaluation is often recommended if you:
  • Struggle to follow conversations in noise
  • Frequently ask others to repeat themselves
  • Feel mentally tired after listening
  • Notice ringing or buzzing in the ears
  • Feel unsure whether your hearing has changed
  • Want a baseline for future comparison
Even mild concerns can benefit from evaluation—especially when clarity and confidence matter.
