At the Hearing Aid Center, the hearing test is conducted in a soundproof booth and takes about an hour. Print the form when you’re done and bring it to your appointment. The last section of the form is a hearing needs assessment, which asks about your specific hearing needs and preferences, such as preferring a hearing aid that’s not easy for others to see, how you prefer to make adjustments to it and whether you’re interested in using your hearing aids with a cell phone, through a television or tablet, and whether you’re interested in remote follow-up service appointments. The next section asks specific questions about your hearing, such as whether you’ve been exposed to noises like gunfire, if you hear ringing, buzzing or roaring in your ears, have had past experience using a hearing aid or whether you’ve ever seen a doctor about your hearing. The intake form asks about your medical history, including any medications you take, allergies to materials (silicone, latex and others), health conditions and ear surgeries you might have had. Next, you fill out an online intake form, which is available in English or Spanish versions. If you’re a Costco member (or thinking of becoming one) and interested in buying hearing aids, you first need to call a Costco Hearing Aid Center to make an appointment for a hearing test.
