Hearing Tests in Wichita Falls

Plan on 30 to 45 minutes for your first comprehensive evaluation. That includes a brief conversation about what you have been noticing, a visual inspection of your ear canals, pure-tone and speech recognition testing in our sound booth, and a results review with personalized recommendations. Follow-up appointments are typically much shorter.

Yes — your first comprehensive hearing evaluation at Wichita Falls Hearing is completely free, with no obligation to purchase anything. We offer it as a service to the community because most adults wait 7+ years between noticing hearing changes and seeking help, and removing the financial barrier helps people get answers sooner.

No referral is needed. You can schedule directly online or by phone. Some patients are referred by their primary care physician or an ENT, but it is not a requirement to be seen at our clinic.

After a brief intake conversation, we do a visual inspection of your ear canals to check for wax or structural issues. Then you sit in a soundproof booth and respond to a series of tones at different pitches and volumes in each ear. We follow that with a speech understanding test where you repeat words at conversational volume. You see your results on an audiogram immediately and we walk through what they mean.

That happens — and it is genuinely good news. If your hearing falls in normal range, we tell you so, give you a copy of your audiogram for your records, and recommend a follow-up evaluation in 1–2 years to catch any age-related changes early. No pressure, no upsell.

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) covers diagnostic hearing tests if medically necessary and ordered by a physician. Most Medicare Advantage plans and commercial insurance plans cover routine hearing screenings too. That said, your first comprehensive evaluation with us is free regardless of coverage — so insurance is not a barrier to getting tested.

Adults under 50 with no concerns should test every 3–5 years. Adults over 50, or anyone noticing changes, should test annually. If you wear hearing aids, an annual evaluation is standard so we can confirm your prescription still matches your current hearing.
