What can I expect during my hearing test?
The assessment begins with an examination of the ear, the ear canals, and the ear drums. A measurement is then taken to assess your middle ear health and function. Speech Testing is then carried out to determine how clearly speech is perceived at a comfortable listening level. Lastly, Pure-Tone Testing is completed by having the patient listen for very soft tones or beeps. Audiologist, Melissa McFadden will then review the results with you after your assessment is completed at the Halton Hearing Centre.

How often do I need a hearing test?
If you have hearing loss you should have a hearing test in Oakville at the Halton Hearing Centre completed on an annual basis for monitoring purposes. This is especially true if you wear hearing aids. Your hearing aids should be examined and adjusted to accomodate possible changes in your hearing over time.
At Halton Hearing Centre We Will Assist with the prescribing, fitting and repairing of your Hearing Aids.
Advancements in Hearing Aid Technology
- Today Hearing aids use completely digital technology
- Directional Microphone Technology to make it easier to hear in background noise
- Automatic functioning - Eliminating the need to manually make adjustments for volume, or program changes. Hearing Aids automatically adjust to the surroundings your are in.
- Improved sound quality.
- Improved Feedback Management systems - Reducing the risk of the "high-pitch whistling" you might hear from older hearing aids
- Improved Noise Reduction systems - Increasing listening comfort when wearing your hearing aid in noisy environments
- Improved speech intelligibility in noise - Increase your ability to understand speech clearly when wearing your hearing aid
A recommendation for a hearing aid is made based upon several factors. These include the degree (i.e. severity) and configuration (i.e. shape) of your hearing loss, your lifestyle, your communication and listening needs, as well as your budget.
