What Most People Don’t Know About Hearing Assessments
Some people believe that a hearing loss is a negative sign.
But we see it differently because with most hearing losses being a result of the lifestyle that you have lived, we see a hearing loss as a clear sign that you have lived a life full of fruitful and rich experiences.
In the same way that the faster that you drive a car, the more likely that you are to have to replace the tires – your ears have had to work hard to keep up with the life that you have experienced and this has slowly taken its toll on your level of hearing.
One of the biggest challenges that we face as hearing care experts is that far too many people do not recognize the first signs of hearing loss and often come to us when it’s too late.
Whereas if they had visited us upon recognizing the first signs, we could have taken the right precautions to protect their level of hearing and prolong their hearing health.
This is the reason that we strongly encourage routine hearing assessments.
If you have never had a hearing assessment or it has been over two years since your last assessment, we strongly encourage you to pay us a visit.
A hearing assessment is quick, non-invasive, and you get the results immediately.

What Happens at a Hearing Assessment?



#1 - A Warm Welcome to Our Office
You will be greeted by one of our friendly patient care representatives as soon as you walk into our office. We want you to feel at home, so we may offer you some hot coffee or cold water to help you relax and make yourself comfortable. We try to avoid making you rush to fill out paperwork while you wait, which is why we provide patient forms that you can fill out and submit online before coming in for your appointment (if you have not done so, you should plan to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled appointment). When your audiologist is ready for you, our patient care representative will guide you to the consultation room and provide whatever you need to help you relax.

Our Happy Patients Say
I started losing my hearing 30 years ago when I lived in the Seattle area. As a result, I have seen many audiologists but none have been as professional, knowledgeable, or determined to improve my hearing experience as Erika has been.

Sally S

Erika and her staff have been very professional in dealing with my hearing issues. They have taken time to sit down with me to explain issues and options and answer my questions.

Dolores B

What a wonderful "ear opening" experience wotking with AHAA. They have helped open a world of lost sounds.
An element of my lile has been restored.

BL B

I purchased my hearing aids in December of 2023. The clarity and ease of use are astounding. They are so comfortable I don't know that they are in. They are nearly invisible. The service has been great. I recommend them to anyone.
