We Don't Do Free Hearing Tests...Here's Why
At our practice in Phoenix, there are no "free hearing tests".
Why?
The Applied360 Discover Consultation is an in-depth, comprehensive interview, diagnostic evaluation, and educational experience that allows patients to truly understand their hearing, and get clear advice on the best next steps for treatment.
Instead of acting as a loss leader and sales driver, this consultation process is intended to make individuals with hearing loss better informed about their own situation so they can make educated decisions about their care.

If you have quality hearing aids and you're still struggling to hear, there's a good chance it has nothing to do with the devices.
Performing real ear measurement allows your audiologist to see exactly how your hearing aids are performing in your ear canals relative to your hearing loss prescription, and make fine-tuning adjustments to ensure you're hearing your best.

Patient Feedback & Reviews
"Kudos to who I believe is the best audiologist in the country. Not just for his outstanding service and his informative videos, but for his superior effort to go the extra mile with his patients without breaking the bank. He is the gold standard by which other audiologists should be measured.

I drive from East Mesa to see Dr. Olson. It's worth the drive because Dr. Olson truly works to get you not a good fit but a great fit. Watch his YouTube videos and you see that he does his homework. He's a one man shop but that's a benefit in getting personalized care. I've been to three audiologists this year and wasn't happy until I found Dr. Olson.
