What Makes Our Hearing Evaluations Different
Our hearing evaluations are conducted by Dr. Jamie Marotto, a Fairfield County native and dedicated audiologist who specializes exclusively in comprehensive audiological care.
Each hearing test includes pure tone audiometry, speech testing, and when indicated, specialized assessments like Speech-in-Noise (SIN) testing to evaluate how well you hear in challenging listening environments. We follow industry best practices and use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the most accurate results possible.
Why Choose Professional Hearing Testing
Our personalized approach to hearing testing means you'll receive more comprehensive care and better outcomes than typical quick screenings offered elsewhere. We believe that understanding your unique hearing challenges requires time, attention, and the expertise that comes from dedicating our practice exclusively to audiology.
Early detection to prevent cognitive decline and social isolation
Comprehensive evaluation beyond basic hearing screenings
Speech-in-Noise testing to assess real-world hearing challenges
Unhurried, personalized consultations with dedicated time for your questions
A thorough hearing evaluation typically takes 60-90 minutes. Unlike rushed appointments elsewhere, we dedicate ample time to conduct all necessary tests, explain your results in detail, and discuss treatment options that fit your lifestyle.
Our comprehensive evaluation includes pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing, and when appropriate, Speech-in-Noise testing to understand how well you hear in real-world listening situations.
No referral is necessary for most patients. However, Medicare beneficiaries should obtain a referral from their physician before scheduling a diagnostic hearing evaluation.
We recommend annual hearing evaluations for adults over 50, or sooner if you notice changes in your hearing. Those with existing hearing loss should have their hearing monitored every 6-12 months.
Your first visit begins with a detailed discussion of your hearing concerns, medical history, and lifestyle needs. We'll then conduct the appropriate tests in our comfortable, soundproof booth, followed by a thorough explanation of your results and personalized recommendations.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover diagnostic hearing evaluations when medically necessary. We'll verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before your appointment.
