What to Expect During Your Evaluation Appointment
If you have not undergone a comprehensive hearing test within the last six months, we will perform an updated exam, which includes measuring your ultra-high frequency hearing thresholds.
The 90-minute appointment also includes a questionnaire, measuring your tinnitus pitch and volume, and counseling to discuss how to manage your condition.
