Northeast Alabama Audiology

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

When you arrive for your first appointment you will be greeted by our friendly front office staff. You’ll be asked to fill out some paperwork, providing us with your medical history and some general information. We encourage you to bring a friend or family member with you to your appointment. That way you can have someone else listening with you and they can help you retain all the information. After you’ve filled out all your paperwork, our audiologist will come out and greet you, and take you back to the testing area where she will conduct the hearing evaluation.

1. Our audiologist will begin with a conversation. She will get to know you by going over your intake form and asking you questions about your health and hearing loss. She will explain how the hearing test is conducted and will answer any of your questions.
2. After a short conversation, then we will begin the hearing evaluation. Using different diagnostic tests we will determine the type and degree of hearing loss (if any) you have.
3. Once the hearing evaluation is completed then we will go over your audiogram, a visual representation of your test results, and explain what the results mean. If you have any questions our audiologist will happily answer them.
4. If you decide you want to move forward with hearing aids then we will go over your options and our audiologist will make a recommendation based on the severity of your hearing loss, your lifestyle, and budget.
