Hearing screening — West

Register now to receive a free 15-minute hearing screening from the ASU Speech and Hearing Clinic at the West Valley campus. Hearing loss can develop slowly and painlessly. Adults should be screened every decade through age 50, followed by additional screenings every three years.

Symptoms 

• A feeling you can hear but not understand.
• Asking people to repeat words in a quiet setting.
• Chronic ear infections.
• Confusing people’s words.
• Increasing the volume of the radio or television to the point it irritates others.
• Ringing sound in the ears and dizziness. 
• Straining to hear conversations.

What is a hearing screening?

• A pure-tone test to determine if hearing levels are at or below the screening levels at key speech frequencies.
• An otoscopic evaluation to determine if outer ear issues such as cerumen ear wax or other problems need attention.
