Hearing loss is usually a gradual process, and it can be hard to recognize the signs and symptoms of hearing loss. In fact, your loved ones will probably notice your hearing loss before you do.

If you’re experiencing two or more of these signs of hearing loss, call us at the Hearing Centers of Indiana in Carmel or Pendleton to book a hearing test.
Reviewing the Audiogram
The results of your test will be printed on an audiogram, and you’ll be able to see exactly which sounds you’re missing. Using both frequencies (measured in Hertz) and volume (measured in decibels), you’ll get a clear picture of your unique hearing loss. If you have hearing loss of greater than 25 decibels, you will need a hearing aid to help you hear and maintain your quality of life. The test will also reveal your degree of hearing loss.
Following the test, your hearing aid specialist will walk you through treatment options, and find the best hearing device for your lifestyle and hearing needs.
Are Hearing Tests Covered by Insurance?
Health insurance coverage changes from state to state, and each provider and insurance plan have distinct policies. At Hearing Centers of Indiana, we will gladly get in touch with your insurance provider to find out if your hearing test or hearing devices are covered by your insurance plan. Medicaid covers hearing tests for anyone under 21, and Medicare may cover your hearing test if you provide us with a referral from your primary care physician.
