Comprehensive Hearing Test with a local audiologist.
As an initial step in diagnosing hearing loss, the National Hearing Test is a wonderful choice. Produced with
funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it offers a telephone-based hearing assessment to
screen for functional hearing loss. However, the test is not a substitute for a complete hearing assessment in
the office of an audiologist. The audiologists at Progressive Hearing – North Miami Hearing Tests
Provider are making an effort to get the word out about the telephone-based screening option while
providing their services for appointments and questions in North Miami and surrounding areas.
Launched in May 2014, the National Hearing Test is presently free of charge as part of Better Speech and
Hearing Month, but will normally cost eight dollars per test. Because it is telephone-based, the test was

hear in daily situations. Each ear is tested independently and gets its own score of “Poor”, “Slightly Below
Normal” or “Normal”. After concluding the screening, participants are urged to contact a local audiologist as
the next step. The ‘After the Test’ page on the National Hearing Test website says, “If your results from the
National Hearing Test were “marginal or below normal,” you should make an appointment for a complete
hearing evaluation by a certified hearing professional. Even if your results are in the “normal” range but you
still have concerns about your hearing, we encourage you to seek a complete hearing evaluation as well.”
Progressive Hearing in North Miami wants to be the local provider of choice for following up on test results
from the National Hearing Test. The expert audiologists are equipped to administer further testing, provide
advice and respond to questions. Progressive Hearing expects that the publicity generated by the National
Hearing Test will draw needed attention to the subject of hearing loss in the United States. As more
individuals are tested, the need for in-office hearing testing and personalized treatment plans and follow-up
care rises in tandem. The hearing care team at Progressive Hearing is delighted about positioning
themselves as a primary provider of hearing testing and hearing loss treatment in North Miami.
While the National Hearing Test is an excellent starting point for many people, it does require a land-based
telephone connection, a quiet testing location and the finger dexterity to accurately enter sequences of
numbers into the phone. For anyone who already suspects hearing loss or may have difficulty completing
the screening, the audiologists at Progressive Hearing recommend calling to schedule an in-person hearing
evaluation.
