Who should have their hearing tested?

Every patient should be considered for a baseline audiogram.

If you are over 50 years old, you should have a hearing test every three years, and once you are over 65 years old, it should be scheduled annually.

In addition, if you are currently experiencing hearing loss symptoms such as difficulty understanding words, having to increase the volume of the television or radio, or if you are frequently asking others to speak slower, more clearly and louder, we recommend you schedule a hearing test.

Last, if you currently wear a hearing aid, you should have a hearing test performed regularly to ensure the proper performance of your device.
