Hear Virginia describes hearing testing that begins with a review of personal and medical history and questions about the listening environments where hearing problems occur. An audiologist examines the ear canal and eardrum with an otoscope, sometimes a video otoscope the patient can see as well, to check for earwax obstruction. For patients who already wear hearing aids but are not hearing as well as they would like, the practice offers a thorough hearing evaluation, since hearing loss can change or the devices may need adjusting. Programming is based on hearing test results and each patient's preferences and listening environments, with fine tuning for situations such as restaurants and crowds. The practice also uses Live Speech Mapping, a fitting process with probe microphones and live speech that lets patients and their family members see the benefits of hearing aids and fitting adjustments in real time. Follow-up care extends over a period of two to four visits. The practice is located on Patterson Avenue, Suite A, in Richmond, Virginia. Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 8am to 5pm, with Tuesday evenings by appointment only. A 5.00 rating reflects how patients in the Richmond area regard the care they receive at Hear Virginia of Highland Springs, where hearing testing, hearing aid fitting, and tinnitus therapy are delivered by an audiologist who takes the time to understand each patient's concerns.
