What to expect during your McCool & Bhuta hearing loss evaluation
Your First Visit
You will start your visit by asking you questions about how your hearing loss is affecting your general health and lifestyle. Next, you will have a complete ear, nose and throat examination.
You will then have the actual hearing test, called an audiogram. In a sound-proof booth, you will wear headphones to hear a series of tones at different frequencies and loudness. In addition, you will be asked to repeat a series of words to test your ability to understand the types of words used in daily conversations. Once the test is completed, Dr. McCool or Dr. Bhuta will explain the results so that you have a clear understanding of your hearing loss and how it can be helped. The visit, including the consultation and the hearing test, usually takes less than an hour.
What if I have a hearing loss?
Most hearing loss is age-related nerve hearing loss. The hearing test will give you a clear idea of the severity of your hearing loss. Since the hearing nerve can’t be repaired, the best treatment for hearing loss is a hearing aid. We can then discuss which type of hearing aid is best for you.
