What to Expect During Your Test
When you arrive at the Fort Mill clinic, we will ensure you feel comfortable and informed about the process and anything concerning your hearing health. Your appointment will include a consultation in which we will discuss your medical history, hearing challenges, and lifestyle. We will then provide a physical exam where we look inside your ears to check for excessive wax, infection, and other things that could be concerning. Finally, we will complete an evaluation of hearing to check your ability to hear tones, speech in quiet and speech in background noise.
Following all the tests, we will clearly explain all your results on the same day. If you have hearing loss, we will guide you through the following steps to improve your hearing.

Who Should Get Tested?
Hearing loss isn’t just a concern for older adults—it can affect people of all ages. Regular testing is especially important if you fall into any of the following groups:
- Adults over 50
- Veterans and industrial workers exposed to loud noise
- Individuals with medical conditions like thyroid issues, diabetes, or heart disease
- Anyone experiencing memory or focus concerns
- Those with a family history of hearing loss
These factors increase the risk of hearing difficulties due to aging, noise exposure, and underlying health conditions. Early detection can make a significant difference in your quality of life—don’t wait until hearing loss becomes a struggle to seek help.
