What is a hearing test?

A hearing test is an assessment conducted by an audiologist to evaluate an individuals ability to hear sounds at various frequencies and volumes.

How does earwax affect hearing?

Excessive earwax can block sound waves from reaching the eardrum, leading to temporary hearing loss or muffled hearing.

What services does Starkey Hearing Technologies provide?

Starkey Hearing Technologies offers a range of hearing aids and advanced audiological solutions designed to improve auditory experiences for individuals with hearing loss.

How often should I get my hearing tested?

It is recommended to have a hearing test every 1-3 years, or more frequently if you notice changes in your hearing or experience symptoms like ringing in the ears.

What should I do if I suspect earwax buildup?

Consult an audiologist or healthcare professional for safe removal options; avoid using cotton swabs as they can push wax further into the ear canal.--- Feel free to ask if you need more information!
