Hearing Test & Hearing Assessments in Calgary

Sometimes, the best way to understand your hearing is to have it properly assessed. With Prime Hearing Clinic, you can get a professional hearing assessment in Calgary that closely examines how you hear different sounds and frequencies.

Comprehensive Hearing Assessments in Calgary

A hearing assessment is more than checking whether you can hear a sound. It looks at how you respond to different sounds and helps identify changes in your hearing ability and whether further hearing care may be appropriate.

A hearing test can be helpful for different reasons. You may want to check your hearing as part of your regular hearing care, if you have noticed a change and want to understand it better, or if you need a hearing test for work or employment requirements. Whatever brings you in, the assessment provides a clear picture of your current hearing.

At Prime Hearing Clinic, we begin by understanding your hearing and medical history before choosing the appropriate tests for you. After the testing, we go through the findings with you and explain the results in simple terms.

For those who require hearing documentation for employment, we also provide testing for specific job and recruitment requirements.

What Does a Hearing Assessment Include?

Your hearing assessment may include several parts, depending on your needs and the reason for your appointment.

At our clinic, we follow a structured process during our hearing assessment to understand your hearing from the initial consultation through to the final results.

Initial Consultation

The appointment starts with a conversation about your hearing, any changes you have noticed and the reason for your visit.

Medical & Hearing History

We review your previous medical history, hearing tests, ear concerns, noise exposure, medications and other factors that may be relevant to your hearing.

Ear Examination

Your ears are examined to check for concerns such as wax buildup or other conditions that may affect hearing or testing.

Hearing Testing

We use professional hearing tests to measure how you respond to different frequencies and sound levels. Speech testing or additional testing may also be completed when appropriate.

Discussion of Results

After the tests are complete, we go over the findings with you and explain how they relate to your hearing. We also let you know if your results suggest that you should keep an eye on your hearing or consider any follow-up care.

Understanding Your Hearing Test Results

Your hearing results are usually shown on an audiogram. It’s a visual graph that shows the softest sounds you can hear at various pitches and volumes in each ear during a hearing assessment.

The results can show if your hearing falls within the expected range or if there are areas where you may not be hearing certain sounds as well as you should. They can also help show whether your hearing is similar in both ears or different from one ear to the other.

At Prime Hearing Clinic, we explain your results in simple terms and show you what they mean for your test. If your hearing is within the expected range, we can discuss whether regular monitoring is recommended. If the results show a hearing concern, we explain where the change is, how it may affect your hearing and what options may be appropriate.

You leave knowing what your results mean, whether anything needs attention, and what you can do next.

Our Hearing Testing Process

We keep our hearing test process simple and easy to follow. We explain what happens during the visit, perform the required tests, and review your results with you once the assessment is finished.

Book Your Appointment

Choose a convenient appointment time and let us know if you are coming in for a general hearing assessment or an employment requirement.

Discuss Your Hearing

At the appointment, we discuss your hearing concerns, health history and the reason for your assessment. This gives us the information that we need for your appointment.

We examine your ears and carry out the hearing tests appropriate for your situation.

Review Your Results

We sit down with you to explain your results, answer your questions, and clarify what your hearing levels mean. You can ask your questions and get a clear explanation of what your hearing results show.

Decide on the Next Step

If no further action is needed, we will let you know. If your results suggest that you may benefit from hearing care or follow-up, we explain your options and help you decide what makes sense for you.

Employment & Job-Specific Hearing Tests in Calgary

Some employers and public-service organizations require documented hearing testing as part of an application or employment requirement. Prime Hearing Clinic provides employment hearing screenings for RCMP, Calgary Police, CN/CP Rail and other job-specific requirements.

We provide the following Calgary Hearing Test services:

RCMP Hearing Test

The RCMP hearing test requires applicants to complete a hearing examination before reaching the medical stage of the requirements process. The examination must be completed using the required RCMP hearing examination form and in accordance with the applicable testing standards.

The current RCMP hearing standards include testing at specific frequencies and meeting minimum hearing thresholds. Applicants cannot use a hearing aid during the examination.

If you need an RCMP hearing test, we can help you complete the required hearing assessment and documentation.

Correction Officer Hearing Test

A correction officer hearing test may be required as part of an employment or application process. The exact requirement can depend on the employer and the position, so there is not one hearing standard that applies to every correction officer role.

If you need a correction officer hearing test, bring the hearing form or instructions provided by the employer or recruiting organization. This helps us ensure that the appropriate testing and documentation are completed for your application.

Other Job-Specific Hearing Tests

We also provide hearing tests for police services and other employment requirements. If you need a police hearing test in Calgary or another job-specific hearing assessment, just bring in your employer’s instructions or required form so the appointment can be matched to the stated requirements.

Signs You May Need a Hearing Test
