Picture this: it’s Sunday dinner, the table is buzzing, and you’re smiling along. But you’re guessing at punchlines, nodding at stories you didn’t quite catch. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and a simple hearing test could be the turning point for you and your family.
A short story with a happy ending
When our client finally came in for a hearing test, he wasn’t worried about the TV volume – he was worried about drifting out of conversations with his wife and grandkids. Forty minutes later, he had clear results, next steps, and something even better – relief. By the next big dinner, he wasn’t guessing anymore. He was laughing right along.
What a hearing test includes at PPHC
- Conversation about your hearing – the situations that feel hardest and what you want to improve
- Ear health check with a quick look in the ear
- Tone and speech testing to measure what you hear and how clearly you understand words
- Same-day explanation of results in plain language, with options that fit your goals and budget
Most appointments take about 40-60 minutes. You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand – no guesswork, no pressure.
Why testing now matters
- Relationships – clearer hearing reduces repeating, mishearing, and frustration at home
- Safety & confidence – hear doorbells, timers, and traffic cues more easily
- Brain health – keeping the ears and brain stimulated helps you stay engaged and active
- A head start – the earlier we spot changes, the more options you’ll have
The PPHC difference
- Fast access – appointments often available within 3 weeks, compared to big-box waits that can stretch several months
- Local and trusted – right inside CF Polo Park with free parking close by
- Lifetime value – ongoing cleanings and follow-ups, plus free in-office care for the life of your hearing aids. Manufacturer warranties are typically 3 years.
- All major brands – so your solution matches you, not just a catalog

FAQs
How do I know it’s time for a hearing test?
If you often ask people to repeat themselves, turn up the TV, or avoid noisy restaurants, it’s time. Many people start with a baseline test in their 30s so they can track changes over time.
Will I need hearing aids?
Not necessarily. A test gives you clarity. If your hearing is within normal limits, we’ll celebrate and set a reasonable recheck plan. If not, we’ll review choices – including no-cost options like communication strategies – so you decide what fits.
What if I have ringing in my ears?
That’s tinnitus, and it’s common. Testing helps rule out causes and gives us a plan – from sound therapy to modern devices that include tinnitus support. Explore our Tinnitus Resource Hub for helpful, bite-size guidance.
