Hearing Evaluations
Your path to better hearing starts with a complete evaluation. Our audiologists use advanced testing methods to detect hearing loss and recommend personalized solutions that match your lifestyle.
Which hearing test is the best?
The best test depends on your unique needs. A full hearing evaluation by an audiologist is the most accurate way to assess your hearing. Common tests include:
- Pure-tone audiometry – Determines the softest sounds you can hear at different pitches.
- Speech audiometry – Measures how well you hear and understand speech.
- Tympanometry – Evaluates middle ear function, checking for issues like fluid buildup or infections.
Professional evaluations give the most accurate diagnosis and guide the best treatment plan.
Can I test my own hearing?
You can look out for signs of hearing loss such as:
- Trouble hearing in noisy places
- Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
- Turning the volume up too high on devices
- Difficulty hearing high-pitched voices
There are also hearing test apps and kits that give you a general sense of your hearing. But they aren’t a replacement for a full evaluation. If you suspect a problem, it’s best to see an audiologist for a thorough assessment.
Are online hearing tests any good?
Online tests can offer a quick hearing check, but they have limits. These tests usually measure tone recognition through speakers or headphones, but they can’t:
- Diagnose the type or degree of hearing loss
- Evaluate how well you understand speech
- Identify medical issues affecting your ears
Because results can be affected by noise and equipment quality, online tests should only be used as a first step. If you notice issues, schedule a full hearing evaluation with an audiologist.
Diagnostic Services
Our team offers advanced diagnostic testing to assess your hearing and detect any underlying concerns. We deliver accurate results and help you explore the right treatment options.
What are audiology diagnostic services, and why are they important?
Diagnostic services include specialized tests to evaluate hearing, ear function, and balance. These tests help identify hearing loss, tinnitus, middle ear problems, and other conditions. With a clear diagnosis, audiologists can recommend the best solution-whether it’s hearing aids, medical care, or other therapies.
What types of diagnostic tests are performed during a hearing evaluation?
A full hearing assessment may include:
- Pure-tone audiometry – Detects the quietest sounds you can hear at different pitches.
- Speech audiometry – Checks your ability to hear and understand words in various settings.
- Tympanometry – Evaluates middle ear health and looks for signs of blockage or infection.
- OAE testing – Measures inner ear response to sound, commonly used with infants and children.
- ABR testing – Assesses how your brain processes sound signals and is helpful for neurological concerns.
These tests help determine your hearing level and the right course of treatment.
When should I get a diagnostic hearing test?
Consider getting tested if you have:
- Difficulty hearing conversations, especially in noisy places
- Ringing or buzzing in your ears (tinnitus)
- Muffled hearing or pressure in your ears
- Sudden or gradual hearing loss
- Balance or dizziness issues
An audiologist can help identify the cause and recommend solutions.
Tinnitus Evaluations and Treatment
If you hear ringing or buzzing in your ears, our tinnitus evaluations can help find the cause. We offer effective treatments like sound therapy and coping strategies to help you manage symptoms and improve comfort.
Should I go to an audiologist for tinnitus?
Yes, audiologists are experts in tinnitus care. If you hear ringing, hissing, musical, or buzzing sounds, they can:
- Assess your condition and potential causes
- Check for hearing loss often linked to tinnitus
- Recommend treatments like sound therapy or hearing aids with masking features
- Share strategies to help reduce stress and manage symptoms
If tinnitus affects your sleep, focus, or mood, an audiologist can help you find relief.
Is tinnitus a brain problem?
Tinnitus often begins in the ears but is linked to how the brain processes sound. When hearing is reduced, the brain may try to fill the gaps by creating phantom sounds.
This is why treatments aim to reduce your awareness of the sound—rather than stopping it completely—options like hearing aids, sound therapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be effective in reducing tinnitus symptoms.
What happens if tinnitus is not treated?
Tinnitus may worsen or feel more bothersome without treatment. It can lead to:
- Increased stress or anxiety due to persistent noise
- Trouble sleeping or focusing
- Unmanaged hearing loss
- Feelings of frustration or social withdrawal
Getting help early can ease symptoms and improve your daily life.
Hearing Aid Services
We provide complete hearing aid care-from choosing the right device to routine maintenance. Our services include fittings, cleanings, adjustments, and repairs to keep your hearing aids working properly.
Hearing Aid Fittings
A proper hearing aid fit ensures comfort and clear sound. We personalize your hearing aids so they match your hearing needs and feel natural in your daily life.
How long does it take to get fitted for a hearing aid?
Fitting appointments usually last one to two hours. Your audiologist will program the device, check the fit, and teach you how to use and care for it. If you need a custom earmold, it may take a couple of weeks to receive before the final fitting. Follow-up visits help fine-tune the settings for better results.
How does an audiologist fit a hearing aid?
The fitting process includes:
- Programming the device based on your hearing test
- Ensuring comfort and secure fit in your ear
- Real-ear measurements (REM) to verify sound levels inside your ear canal
- Sound testing and adjustments for clarity
- Education on daily use and maintenance
- Scheduling follow-ups to make improvements after wearing them in real life
Can you get a hearing aid without a test?
Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids are available without a test, but they are best for mild hearing loss and don’t offer a personalized fit.
A a comprehensive hearing evaluation ensures you get the right device for your needs and rules out medical issues. An audiologist can also fine-tune your hearing aid for better sound quality and comfort.
Hearing Aid Repair
If your hearing aid isn’t working properly, we offer quick and reliable repairs. Whether it’s a small issue or something more serious, our team is here to help.
What are common problems that require hearing aid repair?
Hearing aids can have occasional issues like:
- No sound or weak volume-often due to battery or wax buildup
- Distorted sound-may come from moisture or internal damage
- Whistling or feedback-usually caused by poor fit or wax in the ear
- Broken parts-like cracked cases or damaged battery doors
How long does it take to repair a hearing aid?
Simple fixes like cleaning or replacing parts can often be done in the office during your visit. More complex repairs may need to be sent to the manufacturer, which can take a few days to a few weeks.
Can I fix my hearing aid at home?
You can handle some minor problems at home by:
- Replacing batteries
- Cleaning parts like the microphone or tubing
- Checking the fit and volume
- Using a dehumidifier to remove moisture
For anything more serious, avoid opening the device yourself. Let a professional handle the repair to avoid further damage.
Hearing Protection
Hearing protection isn’t just for work-it’s for life. At Campbell Hearing Solutions, we provide custom-fit solutions to help you stay safe in noisy environments. Whether you’re a musician, hunter, construction worker, or just enjoy loud events, we’ll match you with hearing protection that fits comfortably and works effectively. From custom earplugs to filtered in-ear monitors, we make it easy to protect your hearing without losing clarity or enjoyment.
What’s the big deal about hearing protection?
Repeated exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. Using the right protection helps preserve your hearing for years to come.
Why choose custom earplugs over ones from the store?
Custom earplugs are made just for your ears. That means they’re more comfortable, provide better noise reduction, and are less likely to fall out.
Will I still be able to hear people talk?
Yes! Some earplugs are designed to lower dangerous sound levels while still allowing speech to come through clearly-perfect for social or work settings.
