At Clayton Audiology We Offer

Audiometric Testing - This hearing test evaluates your ability to understand speech by using high-frequency words that are often confused in conversation. You’ll repeat several words that you hear through earphones to make sure you’re able to discern sound combinations in speech. Audiometric tests measure hearing loss as a percent as well as a percent of words you heard accurately.

Tympanometry - Aids in determining how well the eardrum moves and the health of the conduction bones.

Speech Testing - This will reveal whether you’re hearing speech with clarity.

Hearing Aid Selection and Fitting:  

Hearing loss varies by individual. The hearing aids that someone you know loves wearing may or may not be right for you. Our hearing aid brands listed offer a wide range of technology choices to ensure the best fit for your unique hearing needs:
