Your journey to better hearing starts here!
If you suspect you have hearing loss or want a base line hearing test, schedule an appointment with Baker Audiology & Hearing Aids. Your visit will include a complete diagnostic hearing evaluation that’s thorough and designed to give you clear answers about your hearing health.
We use the latest diagnostic equipment, including tests for hearing sensitivity, live speech mapping, and even industrial hearing screening for workplaces that require it.
Your diagnostic hearing evaluation: what to expect
Your appointment begins with a friendly conversation. We’ll review your medical history, any exposure to loud noise, and concerns you or your family may have about your hearing. We’ll also go over any medications and supplements you take, since some can affect hearing. It helps to gather this information ahead of time and to bring a trusted family member or friend along.
Then we’ll perform a series of painless tests using advanced tools, such as:
- Otoscopy: using a small lighted scope (otoscope) to look inside your ear canal and check for wax, infections, or other concerns.
- Tympanometry: a quick, gentle test that measures how well your eardrum moves, helping us detect fluid or pressure issues.
- Acoustic reflex testing: checking how the tiny muscles in your middle ear respond to sounds.
- Pure-tone audiometry: listening to beeps through headphones to find the softest sounds you can hear at different pitches.
- Bone Conduction Testing: Gently sends vibrations through the bones behind your ear to see how well your inner ear (cochlea) is working, helping us determine if hearing loss is coming from the outer/middle ear or the inner ear.
- Speech audiometry: repeating words to see how well you understand speech at comfortable levels — sometimes in quiet, sometimes with background noise.
Understanding your results
At the end of your evaluation, we’ll explain your results in clear, everyday language. You’ll see exactly which sounds you’re hearing well and which you might be missing.
Not all hearing loss is treated the same way. Some types are best addressed medically or surgically. If hearing aids are the right choice for you, our audiologists will guide you through the options, recommending styles and features that fit your hearing needs, lifestyle, and budget. Together, we’ll decide what works best. If custom earmolds are needed, we’ll take impressions that day and order your devices, then bring you back for a fitting.
