When to Schedule a Hearing Test
Subtle changes in hearing can sneak up on you. Here’s how to know when it’s time.
Do you ever think:
“People just don’t speak clearly anymore.”
“I could’ve sworn that’s what they said.”
“It’s too noisy in here to hear anything.”
If those thoughts sound familiar, you might be experiencing the early signs of hearing loss. While some hearing loss can occur suddenly, it more often develops gradually—so slowly, in fact, that many people don’t realize how much they’re missing.
At Earvanna Hearing Centers, we’re here to help you take the guesswork out of your hearing health. With locations in Allentown, Milford, and East Stroudsburg, PA, we make hearing evaluations easy, accurate, and stress-free.
How Often Should I Get My Hearing Checked?
Adults should have their hearing tested every one to three years, depending on their age, exposure to loud environments, or existing hearing concerns. If you’ve already been diagnosed with hearing loss or wear hearing aids, more frequent testing may be recommended to monitor changes and adjust treatment as needed.

Do I Need a Hearing Test?
Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
–Do you often ask others to repeat themselves?
–Have family members told you the TV or radio is too loud?
–Do you struggle to follow conversations in restaurants or group settings?
–Are phone conversations becoming more difficult to understand?
–Do you feel like people mumble or don’t speak clearly?
–Has someone you trust suggested you get your hearing checked?
If you answered “yes” to even a few of these, it’s a smart idea to schedule a comprehensive hearing evaluation.
What to Expect During a Hearing Test
Hearing tests are simple, non-invasive, and painless. At Earvanna, we use a combination of evaluations to give a complete picture of your hearing health:
This test evaluates how well you hear speech in different listening environments. You’ll listen to words and sounds through headphones and repeat what you hear, helping us determine your hearing thresholds and clarity.
We assess the health of your middle ear by measuring eardrum movement and ear pressure. This can help detect fluid buildup, blockages, or issues with the small bones in the ear.
To understand how well you hear real-world conversations, we’ll ask you to repeat a series of words and phrases. This gives us insight into how clearly you’re hearing speech—not just sound.
