Hearing Evaluations

What a Comprehensive Hearing Evaluation Includes

A comprehensive hearing evaluation in San Antonio, TX at Precision Hearing begins with an unhurried review of your hearing history — what you're noticing, where it shows up, and how long it's been changing. From there, a Doctor of Audiology walks you through an otoscopic ear exam, pure-tone audiometry, speech reception testing, and word recognition. Every result is mapped to your audiogram and explained in plain language — so you leave knowing exactly what was tested and what it means.

Doctor-Led Diagnostics, Built on Navy Conservation Discipline

Few clinics in Bexar County bring this depth of diagnostic experience to a hearing test. Owners Dr. Joseph Pratt and Dr. Nathan Ortiz hold CAOHC's highest tier — Course Director and Professional Supervisor — and built their careers tracking hearing change across thousands of active-duty sailors. That same evidence-based discipline shapes every audiogram in our clinic, with a Doctor of Audiology performing the test, reviewing the results, and recommending next steps based on your hearing — not a quota.

Hearing Evaluation FAQs

Common questions about hearing evaluations in San Antonio — what the test involves, how long it takes, whether you need a referral, and what happens when results show hearing loss.

A comprehensive hearing evaluation at Precision Hearing goes well beyond detecting whether you can hear a tone. Your visit starts with an otoscopic ear exam — a magnified look at the ear canal and eardrum to check for wax, fluid, perforations, or other physical concerns. From there, we run pure-tone air- and bone-conduction audiometry across the speech frequencies, speech reception thresholds to identify the softest level you can repeat a word at, and word recognition testing to gauge clarity at conversational volume.

Together those results plot your audiogram, revealing the type, degree, and configuration of any hearing loss — sensorineural, conductive, or mixed; mild through profound. Your Doctor of Audiology walks through what each piece means for the way you live and work in San Antonio, and outlines next steps in plain language. Call (210) 695-4708 to schedule yours.

Plan on roughly 60 to 90 minutes for a comprehensive hearing evaluation at our Babcock Rd office. That window covers the intake review, the test battery itself, and the post-test consultation where your Doctor of Audiology walks through the audiogram and explains what each finding means. If you want to talk through treatment options — hearing aids, tinnitus management, or simply a follow-up plan to monitor a mild change — we will fold that conversation into the same visit rather than make you book another appointment.

For working adults who can't easily step away mid-day, we offer flexible scheduling and early-day appointments to keep your time off short. Call (210) 695-4708 or submit a callback request to lock in a slot that fits your week.

No referral is required to book a hearing evaluation at Precision Hearing — most patients come to us directly, often after noticing they're asking people to repeat themselves, struggling to follow conversation in restaurants, or living with a persistent ringing. Call our clinic line at (210) 695-4708 or submit a callback request and our patient care team will schedule you at 170 Babcock Rd, San Antonio, TX 78201.

If you're coming through VA Community Care or TRICARE, the workflow is slightly different — start with your VA primary care provider, request an audiology referral routed to Precision Hearing Conservation under Group NPI 1386343341, then call us once it's been received. Some commercial plans also require a primary-care referral for coverage; our team will verify your benefits before the visit so there are no surprises.

The first thing you'll get is an honest, in-plain-language explanation of what your audiogram shows — degree of loss, which frequencies are affected, and what that pattern typically means in meetings, restaurants, and at home. From there, the conversation depends on what fits your life. For most working adults, that's a discussion of independent-brand hearing aids matched to your hearing profile, with a real-life trial before any commitment.

If the results suggest a medical cause — earwax impaction, middle-ear fluid, or a concern that warrants ENT review — you'll leave with a clear recommendation to take to your physician. If we're catching a change early, monitoring may be the right call, and we'll set a baseline and a follow-up. There is no pressure to decide anything that day.

30-Day Hearing Aid Trial Period

Every set of hearing aids fitted at Precision Hearing in San Antonio, TX comes with a 30-day trial period. Wear your devices where life actually happens — at work, around the dinner table, on a job site, and out across San Antonio. Real-world listening is the only test that counts. If they aren't the right fit within 30 days, bring them back so we can adjust them, exchange them for a different model, or explore another option together.
