Free Hearing Tests at Ear to Hear
A clear, unhurried hearing exam that shows what you hear well, what you miss, and what options make sense for your daily life.
What a hearing test is for
A hearing test is not a sales pitch. It is a careful look at how your ears are working right now. We measure soft sounds, speech clarity, and the ranges that matter for conversation, TV, church, restaurants, and family visits.
After the exam, we explain the results in plain English. You will know what is going on and what can help. There is no pressure to buy anything the same day.
What to expect at your visit
Most visits take about 60 minutes. Bring a family member or friend if you can. It helps to have a second set of ears when we talk through the results.
Check-in
We review your concerns, medical history, and goals. If you use the online portal, you can fill out intake forms before you arrive.
Ear check
We look in your ears for wax or other issues that can affect testing and comfort.
Hearing exam
You listen for soft tones and speech in a quiet booth or quiet room. The test is simple. Just respond when you hear the sounds.
Results talk
We show your hearing graph and explain it in everyday language. If hearing aids may help, we discuss styles, brands, and next steps.

How to prepare
Before you come in
Write down situations where hearing is hard - restaurants, phone calls, TV, group talks. List medicines and past ear issues. Bring insurance cards if you have coverage to review.
Who should come with you
A spouse, adult child, or friend is welcome. They often notice communication struggles you have gotten used to, and they can help you remember the plan.
After your hearing test
If your hearing is within a healthy range, we still explain what we found and when to retest. If you have hearing loss, we outline options that fit your lifestyle and budget path - private pay, insurance networks, or a mix when that applies.
Many patients try hearing aids through our office process when private-pay stock is available. Insurance and third-party orders follow the network rules for that plan. We walk you through the difference so you are not guessing.
