If you’re concerned about hearing loss, check your hearing with Clarity Audiology.

The journey to better hearing and a better quality of life begins with identifying hearing loss and taking steps to address it. By recognizing the signs early and working with your audiologist, you can stay connected with friends and family, enjoy your favorite activities, and maintain your independence.

At Clarity Audiology & Hearing Solutions, LLC, we make it simple to take the first step toward better hearing with a confidential hearing check. This quick questionnaire asks you about your hearing in different situations and can help determine if you should schedule a full hearing evaluation.

Why a Hearing Evaluation Matters

A hearing evaluation is the foundation for understanding your hearing abilities. It determines:

  • How severe your hearing loss is
  • The most likely causes
  • What treatment options are best for your needs

We provide hearing evaluations for adults, children, and infants in Ellicott City, Catonsville, Columbia, Baltimore, and throughout Howard, Carroll, and Baltimore County. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating hearing problems, as well as fitting and programming hearing aids for optimal results.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

When you visit Clarity Audiology, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly team and guided through any necessary paperwork (which can also be completed ahead of time). One of our experienced audiologists will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns you have about treatment.

Your hearing evaluation will include:

  1. Visual Ear Inspection – We’ll check your ear canal for wax buildup, blockages, or other issues.
  2. Eardrum and Middle Ear Testing – This step ensures there are no middle ear problems that could be affecting your hearing.
  3. Hearing Tests – You’ll listen to a series of sounds and speech and respond by raising your hand, pushing a button, or repeating words. This measures how well you detect different pitches and understand speech.

Once the testing is complete, your audiologist will review your results, explain the severity and likely cause of any hearing loss, and discuss personalized treatment recommendations. A written report will also be sent to your physician.

Choosing the Right Hearing Solution

If your evaluation shows that you could benefit from amplification, we’ll recommend hearing aids suited to your specific needs. As an independent audiology practice, we have access to devices from a wide range of top manufacturers, so our recommendations are based on your hearing profile, not on sales incentives. You can even try out the latest digital hearing aid technology in our office the same day.

Pediatric Hearing Evaluations

For children ages three and up, we offer accurate, comprehensive hearing evaluations using advanced diagnostic equipment. We make the experience engaging and positive for young patients, adapting our testing methods to suit each child’s responsiveness and comfort level.

If you’ve noticed changes in your hearing—or if friends and family have mentioned that you might not be hearing as well—it’s time to check your hearing. Schedule your confidential hearing check with Clarity Audiology and take the first step toward clearer communication and a richer, more connected life.
