Hearing Evaluations
What Your Free Hearing Evaluation Includes
A hearing evaluation in Walnut Creek and Brentwood, CA at Contra Costa Hearing Aid Center starts with an unhurried look at your hearing history and what you've been noticing. A hearing test is used to determine whether you could be helped by a hearing aid, so your hearing specialist measures how you hear soft and loud sounds, speech in quiet, and speech in noise. Best of all, the evaluation is free, carries no obligation, and your results are reviewed with you right away.
Local Hearing Experts You Can Trust
Few hearing aid centers in Contra Costa County bring this blend of technology and people skills to a hearing test. Owner Toby S. Hill is a Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist with more than 20 years in hearing healthcare, and the practice works closely with local ENT physicians. That means your evaluation is accurate, honest, and matched to your hearing rather than to a sales quota. We test and care for neighbors across Walnut Creek, Brentwood, and the surrounding communities.
Hearing Evaluation FAQs
Common questions about hearing evaluations in Walnut Creek and Brentwood, CA: what the test involves, how long it takes, whether you need a referral, and what happens if you could benefit from hearing aids.
A hearing evaluation at Contra Costa Hearing Aid Center is used to determine whether a hearing aid could help you. We begin with a gentle look inside each ear to check for anything obvious, such as earwax buildup or a blockage, then measure how you respond to tones and to speech across the range of everyday sounds.
The complete evaluation looks at soft and loud sounds, speech in quiet and in noise, your tolerance for loudness, directional hearing, and focused listening. Your hearing specialist reviews everything with you on the spot and explains, in plain language, what it means for the way you live. If anything points to a medical cause, we'll refer you to a local ENT physician. Call or text (925) 203-9134 to schedule.
Plan on about 60 minutes for a complete hearing evaluation at either of our Contra Costa County offices. That window covers your hearing history, the test itself, and the conversation afterward, where your hearing specialist walks through the results and answers your questions.
If you'd like to talk through next steps, such as which hearing aid styles might suit your hearing and lifestyle, we fold that into the same visit rather than booking you a second appointment. There is no pressure to decide anything that day. To reserve a time at our Walnut Creek or Brentwood office, call or text (925) 203-9134.
No referral is needed to book a hearing evaluation with us. Most people come to Contra Costa Hearing Aid Center on their own, often after noticing they're turning up the TV, asking others to repeat themselves, or struggling to follow conversation in a busy restaurant. Just call or text either office and our team will find a time that works.
Some insurance plans do require a primary-care referral for coverage, so it's worth a quick check with your carrier first. We accept insurance from many companies and are glad to help you verify your benefits before the visit. Reach our Walnut Creek office at (925) 203-9134 or Brentwood at (925) 203-9144.
First, you'll get an honest, plain-language explanation of what your results show and what they mean in the settings that matter to you. From there, the conversation depends entirely on your hearing and your goals. For many people, that's a look at hearing aids from leading brands matched to your hearing and lifestyle, supported by our comprehensive 45-day patient journey of best-practice fittings and follow-up care.
If your results point to a possible medical cause, such as earwax buildup or middle-ear fluid, you'll leave with a clear recommendation to share with your physician or a local ENT. Either way, there's no pressure and no obligation. Call or text (925) 203-9134 to get started.
