Hearing Tests for Clear Answers

Something does not sound quite right. Maybe conversations are harder to follow. Maybe your ear feels blocked. Maybe the TV has slowly crept louder, or current hearing aids are no longer helping enough.
A hearing test is usually the simplest place to start. It helps clarify whether the issue is hearing loss, tinnitus, a blocked ear, a middle-ear concern, or hearing aids that need review, adjustment, or a better hearing aid fitting.
At Puretone Hearing Clinic, a hearing test is not just listening for beeps. It is a careful Audiological Assessment with a Registered Audiologist that looks at hearing levels, speech clarity, ear health, listening comfort, and the real-life situations where hearing has become harder.
For some patients, the result is reassurance and a useful baseline. For others, the next step may be tinnitus guidance, a Hearing Aids Second Opinion, or a discussion about Prescription Hearing Aids.

What REM Can Improve in Daily Life

We do not use REM just to create graphs. We use it to improve real-world hearing, daily confidence, and independence.
When hearing aids are measured and adjusted properly, the benefit often shows up in everyday moments. Speech may feel clearer, sound may feel more balanced, and listening may take less effort.
This matters because hearing aids should not simply make the world louder. They should help speech become easier to follow.
  • clearer speech during family conversations
  • better balance between soft and loud sounds
  • more comfortable listening through the day
  • stronger confidence in the fitting
  • less strain in everyday communication
  • fewer “something still does not feel right” moments

Modern Hearing Technology and Hearing Aid Styles

Different patients need different kinds of help. Some need insurance guidance. Others need direct billing, documentation, financing, or program-related support.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Rechargeable Hearing Aids remove the need to manage small batteries and can make daily use simpler for many patients.

Custom Hearing Aids

Custom Hearing Aids are shaped for your ears and may suit patients who want a discreet look or a more tailored physical fit.

Do I Need a Hearing Test?

If everyday listening feels harder than it used to, it is worth checking.
Many people wait because they are not sure whether their hearing has really changed. These are common reasons to book a hearing test.
  • You often ask people to repeat themselves
  • The television volume keeps getting louder
  • Phone conversations sound muffled
  • Restaurants or group settings leave you feeling tired
  • You miss words in background noise
  • Family members notice more misheard conversations
  • One ear feels blocked, full, or unclear
  • You hear ringing, buzzing, or sound-related strain
  • You already wear hearing aids but still struggle with clarity or comfort
If you already wear hearing aids and still struggle, updated testing and a Hearing Aids Second Opinion may be the better starting point.
It is usually better to get a baseline early than keep adapting around the problem and giving up independence one difficult conversation at a time.

Repair, Refit, or Upgrade? We Help You Decide Clearly

A hearing aid can sometimes be repaired and still not be the right hearing aid to keep investing in.
Many patients start thinking about upgrading when one hearing aid breaks, the charger fails, or a repair quote suddenly appears. At that point, the question is not only whether the hearing aid can be repaired. It is whether the repair is still worth it.
If your hearing aids are out of warranty and need a major repair, the cost can be difficult to justify — especially when the technology is already older or missing features that would help daily life now.
Before spending more on older technology, your Registered Audiologist reviews the situation properly. Sometimes repair is reasonable. Sometimes a better hearing aid fitting is the right first step. Sometimes putting that cost toward newer Prescription Hearing Aids with stronger performance and a fresh warranty is the more practical choice.

What Happens During the REM Process?

The process is comfortable, efficient, and designed to make the hearing aid fitting more precise.

01

A Small Measurement Tube

A very thin, soft tube is placed in the ear canal alongside the hearing aid. Most patients find this easy and comfortable.

02

Speech-Level Measurement

A speech signal is played while the hearing aid is in place. The tube measures what the hearing aid is actually delivering inside the ear.

03

Comparison to Your Targets

Your Audiologist compares the measured result to the speech targets based on your hearing test.

04

Fine-Tuning the Hearing Aid Fitting

If the hearing aid is too weak, too strong, or unbalanced in certain areas, we adjust the settings while measuring the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

A full appointment typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes. That gives enough time for the ear check, testing, and a clear discussion of your results with your Audiologist.

No. You can contact Puretone directly to book a hearing test.

Yes. Puretone is an independent, Audiologist-owned clinic, and testing is led by Registered Audiologists.

Some extended health plans may include hearing testing or related hearing-care benefits. Coverage varies by plan, so it is worth checking your benefits. We can also help explain Financial Accessibility options where relevant.

No. A hearing test is about understanding what is happening. If hearing aids are recommended, your Audiologist explains your options clearly so you can decide at your pace.

Yes. A hearing test helps determine whether Prescription Hearing Aids are appropriate, whether another issue is contributing, or whether monitoring is the better path.

You may benefit from updated testing and a Hearing Aids Second Opinion to review hearing aid fitting accuracy, comfort, settings, and whether Real-Ear Measurement has been completed properly.

No. A hearing test is painless and non-invasive. You may wear headphones, respond to tones, and complete speech testing, but the process should feel comfortable.

A detailed Audiological Assessment helps clarify what may be contributing. Your Audiologist looks at the ear, the hearing profile, and your symptoms so the next step is based on better evidence.

That can still be useful. A normal or stable result provides reassurance and creates a baseline for future comparison.
