First Visit Guide
What to Expect at Your Appointment
We want you to feel completely at ease before you arrive. Here's a step-by-step look at what a typical visit to Kim T. Audiology looks like.
- 01
Arrival & Intake
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early for your first visit. You'll complete a brief intake form covering your hearing history, any concerns you've noticed, and your medical background. Our front desk team will make sure you're comfortable from the moment you walk in.
- 02
Case History Review
Dr. Kim T. will sit down with you to review your intake form and discuss your hearing concerns in detail. This conversation is unhurried — we want to understand not just your symptoms, but how your hearing affects your daily life.
- 03
Hearing Evaluation
Depending on your needs, your evaluation may include pure-tone audiometry (listening for tones through headphones), speech recognition testing, and tympanometry to assess middle ear function. The tests are painless and typically take 30–45 minutes.
- 04
Results & Recommendations
Dr. Kim T. will walk you through your results in plain language — no jargon. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your hearing profile and a personalized plan, whether that's monitoring, hearing aids, tinnitus management, or a referral to an ENT specialist.
- 05
Next Steps
If hearing aids or further testing are recommended, we'll discuss your options and answer every question before you make any decisions. There's no pressure — just clear information and genuine support.
What to Bring
