Before Your Visit
Prior to visiting Oregon Hearing Solutions, you can contact us to set up an appointment. If you have insurance, we’ll gather that along with your contact information. You can fill out our new patient forms and bring them with you or show up 15 minutes early to fill them out.
Your Hearing Evaluation
Getting a hearing test is the first step to better hearing. We’ll provide you with a complete audiometric evaluation. The results, along with any treatment options, are discussed with you and any family/friends who have come along.
Treatment Options:
There are three common outcomes from the hearing test: you could benefit from hearing aids, your hearing disorder is of a medical nature, or you have normal hearing.
Some hearing problems need medical treatment. In these instances, you’ll be referred to a medical professional.
If your hearing loss cannot be corrected medically, you might benefit from hearing aids. One of our providers will will review your individual hearing needs in terms of what is best suited for you, and discuss the various kinds of hearing aids, and whether you need one or two. Though we are proud of the quality and variety of hearing devices we offer and fair, honest prices we provide, you do not have to purchase hearing aids from our office, nor will you ever feel pressured to do so.
If you have normal hearing, we will recommend how soon you should return to get retested. Getting a hearing evaluation is part of your routine medical care.
Hearing Aids:
For hearing aids to be successful, they must be comfortable, practical, and acoustically beneficial for your unique hearing problems. You want them to be cosmetically acceptable. We consider all these factors when recommending hearing aids. Then you select the hearing aids that best meet your needs.
Hearing Aid Fitting:
Your new hearing aids can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks to arrive. If you have chosen a hearing aid that requires a custom earmold, allow one to two weeks for your hearing aid(s) to come in. If this is your first experience with hearing aids, expect the fitting to take forty-five minutes to an hour.
Our office is designed to put you at ease and our staff members are devoted to your comfort and quality of care. Your hearing is important to us. We will do our best to work around your schedule and see you promptly at your reserved appointment time. If your initial consultation is to determine amplification needs, your comprehensive examination is complimentary.
