Hearing Health, Made Easy
For many people, booking a hearing test feels unfamiliar – but at NYC Hearing Associates, the process is simple, non-invasive, and focused entirely on you.
Whether you’ve noticed a change in your hearing, need a baseline for work, or simply want peace of mind, our team makes the experience clear, relaxed, and reassuring from start to finish.
What Happens at an Audiology Appointment?
An audiology appointment is your first step toward clearer hearing and better communication. Here’s what you can expect during a typical in-office visit at NYC Hearing Associates.
1. Personalized Intake & Discussion
Your appointment begins with a short conversation about your hearing concerns, lifestyle, and medical history. We’ll ask about common symptoms – like missing words in conversations or hearing a ringing in your ears.
This helps us tailor your experience and determine which audiology services are most relevant to your needs.
2. Full Hearing Evaluation
Your hearing will be tested using safe, comfortable methods performed by a licensed audiologist. Testing is based on your symptoms and may include:
| Test | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Pure-Tone Audiometry | Hearing sensitivity across pitch and frequency |
| Speech-in-Noise Testing | Clarity of speech with background sound |
| Tympanometry | Middle ear pressure and eardrum flexibility |
| Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) | Function of inner ear (cochlear hair cells) |
| APD Screening | Brain’s ability to process sound and communication |
Tests are painless and typically take 30–45 minutes. No referral is needed.
3. Same-Day Results & Guidance
After your tests, we’ll walk through your results immediately using easy-to-read visuals (like an audiogram). If any hearing difficulties are identified, we’ll explain next steps – from prevention to hearing care solutions.
This is where we may recommend:
- Advanced hearing aids with Bluetooth or invisible designs
- Auditory rehabilitation for listening and communication support
Custom ear protection for musicians or noisy workplaces
4. Your Tailored Hearing Plan
Every patient gets a personalized follow-up plan. That may include:
- In-office fitting for hearing aids and other devices
- Strategies for managing tinnitus, noise sensitivity, or listening fatigue
- Pediatric referrals or follow-ups, if applicable
- Ongoing care with our team, in person or via telehealth
We’ll make sure you know exactly what to expect, how to use your devices (if prescribed), and what resources are available.
