ASU Employee Wellness 2025: Hearing screening—West Valley campus

Register now for a free 15-minute hearing screening at the ASU Speech and Hearing Clinic at the Tempe campus. Hearing loss can develop gradually and painlessly. Adults should be screened for hearing loss if they experience one or more of the following symptoms:

• Avoidance of social settings or reduced participation in activities.
• Consistent requests for repetition.
• Difficulty understanding speech of high-pitched speakers, in noise, or on the telephone.
• Dizziness.
• Hearing others’ speech as mumbled.
• Increasing the volume on the television and other devices.
• Listening fatigue.
• Ringing in the ears or tinnitus.
• Speaking too loudly or too softly.
• Trouble hearing consonants.

What is a hearing screening?

• An otoscopic evaluation to determine if outer ear issues such as cerumen ear wax or other problems need attention.
• A pure-tone test to determine if hearing levels are at or below the screening levels at key speech frequencies.
• A screening questionnaire to identify perceived difficulties related to hearing.
• Review of results with a qualified professional.
