Hearing Evaluations
What a Comprehensive Hearing Evaluation Includes
A hearing test in Corpus Christi, TX at Hear Today Hearing Aids starts with an unhurried review of your hearing history. From there, a Doctor of Audiology conducts an otoscopic ear exam, tympanometry to assess middle ear function, sound booth testing across the speech frequencies, and a full audiogram review. Every result is explained in plain language so you leave knowing exactly what was found, what it means, and what comes next.
Doctor-Led Diagnostics You Can Trust
At chain hearing centers, a sales technician runs a quick screen and hands you a brochure. At Hear Today Hearing Aids, a Doctor of Audiology conducts the test, reads the audiogram, and delivers your results personally. With more than 20 years of South Texas experience, the evaluation goes deeper than a pass-fail screen: the cause of your hearing loss matters, and that shapes everything about what comes next.
Hearing Evaluation FAQs
Common questions about hearing evaluations in Corpus Christi — what the test involves, how long it takes, whether you need a referral, and what happens when results show hearing loss.
A comprehensive hearing evaluation at Hear Today Hearing Aids goes well beyond detecting whether you can hear a tone. Your visit starts with an otoscopic ear exam: a magnified look at the ear canal and eardrum to check for wax, fluid, or other physical concerns. From there, we run tympanometry to assess middle ear function, and sound booth testing across the key speech frequencies to map your hearing thresholds.
Together those results plot your audiogram, revealing the type, degree, and configuration of any hearing loss — sensorineural, conductive, or mixed; mild through profound. Your Doctor of Audiology walks through what each piece means for the way you live and work, and outlines next steps in plain language. Call (361) 414-9066 to schedule yours.
Plan on roughly 60 to 90 minutes for a full hearing evaluation at our Corpus Christi office on S Staples St. That time covers your intake review, the full test battery, and the post-test consultation where your Doctor of Audiology walks through the audiogram and explains every finding. If you want to discuss treatment options or a monitoring plan, we fold that conversation into the same visit. No need to schedule a separate appointment.
Call (361) 414-9066 or submit a callback request to lock in a time that works for your week.
No referral is required to book a hearing evaluation at Hear Today Hearing Aids. Most patients come to us directly, often after noticing they're asking people to repeat themselves, struggling to follow conversation in restaurants, or living with a persistent ringing. Call (361) 414-9066 or submit a callback request and we will schedule you at our office at 4456 S Staples St, Corpus Christi, TX 78411.
Some insurance plans require a primary-care referral for coverage, so it's worth a quick check with your carrier before the visit. Our team will verify your benefits ahead of time so there are no surprises, and we'll let you know if a referral is needed for your specific plan.
The first thing you'll get is an honest explanation of what your audiogram shows: the degree of loss, which frequencies are affected, and what that pattern typically means in daily life. From there, the conversation depends on what fits you. For most adults, that means a discussion of hearing aids from leading manufacturers matched to your specific hearing profile and lifestyle.
If the audiogram points to a medical cause (earwax impaction, middle-ear fluid, a perforation), you'll leave with a clear recommendation to take to your physician. If we're catching an early change, setting a baseline and a follow-up schedule may be the right path. Nothing needs to be decided that day — the goal is for you to leave with answers, not a sales pitch.
30-Day Hearing Aid Exchange Period
Every set of prescription hearing aids fitted at Hear Today Hearing Aids is backed by a 30-day exchange period. Wear your devices at work, at the dinner table, on the golf course, and at home — if they aren't quite right within 30 days, bring them back and we'll swap them for a different model, or return them for a refund if no device is the right match. Real life is the only test that counts.
