Details (prREACH) The National Hearing Test, a functional Hearing Test administered by phone and developed with
National Institute of Health funding, is a great start in detecting loss of hearing unilaterally or bilaterally. While
a remarkable advancement in drawing attention to hearing loss nationwide and conducting initial screenings,
the telephone-based test has certain limitations. It’s not a substitute for the comprehensive Hearing Tests
performed by audiologists. The audiologists at Silver State Hearing & Balance believe that getting the word
out about the National Hearing Test is very important. Just as important is having local audiologists available
in Reno to conduct comprehensive hearing tests and provide personalized counseling for individuals that
receive a score outside of the normal range on their screening.
The National Hearing Test is available at nationalhearingtest.org and costs eight dollars. As part of Better

screened separately and receives its own score of “Normal”, “Slightly Below Normal” or “Poor”. After
finishing the screening, test takers are urged to contact a local audiologist as a next step. The ‘After the
Test’ page 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.”
Silver State Hearing & Balance – Reno Hearing Test Experts are available for comprehensive hearing testing
for residents of Reno and adjacent areas. They are pleased to answer the follow-up questions from anybody
who took the National Hearing Test and to arrange for a more in-depth hearing assessment. The publicity
generated by the launch of the National Hearing Test is bringing much needed attention to the subject of
hearing loss. As more people are tested, the need for local hearing testing and personalized treatment plans
and follow-up health care increases in tandem. Silver State Hearing & Balance is delighted to position
themselves as the leading local provider of hearing testing in Reno that residents can turn to after completing
the national screening.
It’s important to note that to obtain accurate results from the National Hearing Test, a land-line (not cellular)
phone is needed. Test takers will also have to have the finger dexterity and coordination to enter over 50
numbers into the telephone’s number pad. Anyone who suspects hearing loss and would have difficulty
completing the phone-based screening is encouraged to schedule an exam directly with a local audiologist.
