The holidays are approaching fast, and you may be relishing the idea of spending some quality time with your immediate and extended family…or you may be dreading it.

What to Expect at a Hearing Test
Congratulations on setting up your first hearing test! A hearing test is the best tool for analyzing the capabilities of your hearing and detecting any hearing loss. Modern hearing tests use multiple factors to check your hearing for issues and to help find effective treatment for any problems or concerns. Hearing tests are painless, comprehensive and non-invasive – getting an annual hearing exam is a great idea for tracking your hearing health and catching any hearing issues early. Let’s take a look at what you can expect at your hearing test.

Once you notice changes in their hearing, encouraging a loved one to take a hearing test can feel like a difficult task.
