What to Expect During a Comprehensive Hearing Test
Our hearing assessments go beyond a quick screening. We take the time to evaluate every aspect of your hearing so you can feel confident in your results.
Case history review
We begin by discussing your hearing concerns, medical history, medications, any exposure to loud sounds that might affect your hearing and lifestyle.
Visual Examination
Our hearing care professional will examine your ears using an otoscope to check for earwax buildup, infections, or other issues that could impact your hearing.
Pure tone audiometry
You'll listen to various tones at different frequencies (pitch) and volumes through inserts or headphones, helping us create a detailed graph of your hearing ability across all sound ranges.
Tympanometry (Middle Ear Function test)
We'll test how well your eardrum moves, checking for problems in your middle ear that could affect your hearing.

Same-Day Results & Clear Explanations
At the end of your test, our Hearing Care Professional will review your results in detail and explain what they mean in everyday terms. If treatment or hearing solutions are recommended, you'll leave with a clear plan and next steps.
Who Should Book a Hearing Test?
Communication Difficulties
- Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
- Difficulty following conversations in groups or noisy environments
- Trouble hearing on the phone or needing to increase the volume
- Missing parts of conversations or responding inappropriately
Daily Life Changes
- Turning up the TV or radio volume higher than others prefer
- Difficulty hearing doorbells, alarms, or other important sounds
- Struggling to hear in restaurants, theaters, or social gatherings
Physical Symptoms
- Ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in your ears (tinnitus)
Adults 50 and Older
Annual or every two year hearing tests are recommended as hearing naturally changes with age. Early detection allows for better treatment outcomes and helps maintain your independence and social connections.
Adults 18-49
Consider testing every 3-5 years, or immediately if you notice changes. Those exposed to loud environments should test more frequently.
Workplace Considerations
If you work in noisy environments or have been exposed to loud sounds over time, regular monitoring is crucial for catching occupational hearing loss early.
Don't Wait for Obvious Signs
Hearing loss often goes unnoticed. Regular testing establishes a baseline and monitors changes. Schedule your hearing test at Calgary Ear Centre today to enhance your hearing health.
