Professional Hearing Test in Painesville & Concord Township
Audiologist-Led Evaluations - Understand Your Hearing
A hearing evaluation is an essential part of overall health and wellness. Whether you already struggle to hear or simply want a baseline, we provide a personalized, pressure-free assessment to help you understand your hearing.
What Happens During a Hearing Evaluation?
We make your visit comfortable and stress-free, guiding you through each step:
Case History
We'll ask about your hearing challenges, lifestyle, and medical history to tailor the evaluation to your needs.
Otoscopy
We examine your ear canals to ensure they are clear of wax. Safe wax removal is provided if needed.
Diagnostic Hearing Test
Measures the softest sounds you can hear, assesses speech understanding in quiet and noise, and determines whether hearing loss is present and its type.
Additional Tests (If Needed)
Tympanometry, reflex testing, otoacoustic emissions, or ultra high-frequency testing.
Results & Recommendations
Your audiologist will explain your results clearly.
Two Service Options Available
If you schedule a diagnostic-only visit, we will provide a brief summary and recommendations. If you'd like an in-depth treatment plan and hearing aid consultation, we recommend scheduling (or upgrading to) a Communication & Functional Needs Assessment (CFNA), which allows dedicated time for this discussion.

What Our Patients Say
"I wish other health care professionals were like Dr Sarah Curtis and Jamie. This was the absolute most informative and thorough appointment I've ever been to. It must have lasted about 2.5hrs. Yes it's hearing test which take time but the conversation after the tests were very detailed and informative. There's no such thing as a silly question because mostly likely she's heard it all and has an answer. She is extremely knowledgeable because she truly enjoys helping people. They both do. Everyone there was professional and courteous. I truly wish more health care professionals dedicated this kinda of genuine dedication. I definitely feel I have the right education now to move forward with my health care. Thank y'all."
FAQs About Hearing Tests
Get answers to common questions about hearing evaluations at our Painesville clinic.
Yes. Screenings are basic pass/fail checks and may miss mild hearing loss. A diagnostic test provides a complete picture.
No. Our approach is supportive and individualized. A full treatment discussion only occurs during a dedicated consultation (CFNA). This ensures you have enough time to ask questions and make decisions at your own pace.
In most cases, an audiologist is the best first step. If a medical issue is suspected, we'll refer you to an ENT.
