Examination of the Ear Canal
To assess the health of your ear canal and eardrum, we may use an otoscope, a specialized instrument. This examination is painless and provides valuable insights into your ear's condition.
Pure-Tone Audiometry
The core of the hearing test involves pure-tone audiometry, where we assess your ability to hear various tones and pitches. You'll be seated in a soundproof booth or room, and we will provide you with headphones. You'll then listen for tones at different frequencies, indicating when you can hear them by pressing a button or raising your hand. This helps us create an audiogram, a visual representation of your hearing ability.

Speech Recognition Tests
We'll evaluate your speech recognition by having you listen to and repeat words or sentences at varying volumes. This assessment provides essential information about your ability to understand spoken language.
Discussion of Results
Once we have completed the hearing test, we will thoroughly review the results with you. We'll explain the audiogram and discuss your hearing thresholds, indicating the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies. If hearing loss is detected, we'll clearly explain the type and degree of hearing loss.

Customized Recommendations
Based on the test results and our discussion, we will provide tailored recommendations for hearing solutions. If hearing aids are necessary, we'll discuss the various options available, considering your lifestyle, preferences, and budget.
Next Steps
If hearing aids are prescribed, we will guide you through the process of selecting and fitting them. We will ensure that you are comfortable with the devices and provide ongoing support to address any questions or concerns.

Patient Testimonials
Haley Hemmelgarn2023-08-25Went in due to severe dizziness. They were able to fit me in the next day. Super kind, they explained every test that they were going to do, explained what I’d be feeling, and really listened to my symptoms. One of the tests really took a toll on me and I ended up getting sick because of it… the doctor comforted me the entire time, took care of me, and then got to the root of the problem. I left SAME DAY with the dizziness gone. Caring, considerate, and absolutely effective.
Mike Baker2023-08-06Hands down the best doctors I've ever been to. Highly recommend. Not like all the others.. Thank you!!
Jennifer S2023-07-18My mom had a wonderful experience with Expert Hearing. From the initial evaluation and hearing test to navigating insurance to fitting and following up on her new hearing aids, the doctor was thorough and professional and went above and beyond to take good care of my mom. She took her time and explained everything carefully and answered all of our questions. Would highly recommend!
Pam Preston2023-02-02My husband has been a patient here for about 5 years. Danielle is the most caring and supportive person! She always goes over and above and she is available anytime we need anything. So glad we found her!
robert sharples2020-10-15My wife and recently moved to Ohio from the East coast to be near family and had to find new medical caregivers. I found Expert Hearing Clinic through Google since I had no references, just used “near me” to get a list. I can’t tell you how lucky I was to find these folks! Their attention to all aspects of my hearing was superb. I really felt like they cared about me as an individual with my own unique hearing issues. Their manners were kind and caring. I highly recommend Expert Hearing Clinic!
Ronnie Taulbee2020-07-18I had came to this office, after my visit to a different hearing center. Actually, that is what brought me there in the first place, with the referral from my insurance company. The first place I visited left me thinking, let's say not to high of an opinion for doctors of audiologly, but when I came to Expert Hearing Clinic, I was put at ease by the doctor there, and my visit went better than I expected. My hearing test was completed, and it was very well assesed. This is my first experience wearing hearing aids, so I did have to comeback several times for small adjustments, and I even had to go from one company to another to find the right hearing aid for me. But, Danielle did a great job, and patiently changed out the equipment to something I get more use out of. I highly recommend this place, and their doctors. Sorry for the long read, by but it was necessary. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. Thank you.
Ted James2018-12-06My mother-in-law just received hearing aids from Dr. Cisler. We received wonderful care. We got an appointment quickly, and she is extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.
Janet House2018-07-09Dr. Gorsky is great. I got an appointment quickly, and she is friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgable. I've dealt with hearing issues for many years (being a rock musician), and she made ear molds for my inear monitors that work very well. I highly recommend her.
