Before any hearing test begins, we start with an otoscopy.
Otoscopy allows your audiologist to look inside the ear canal and check the health of your ear before testing. We’re looking for things like wax buildup, irritation, infection, or anything that could affect your hearing results or your comfort.
This step matters. A clear, healthy ear helps ensure your hearing test is accurate and that any recommendations we make are truly right for you.
It’s a small part of the appointment, but it plays a big role in protecting your hearing health and getting the best outcomes possible.
