Hearing Tests in Surprise, AZ
A hearing test is an essential part of maintaining your overall health. A hearing test is the only way to diagnose the degree of hearing loss and which frequencies are affected. At PurTone Hearing Centers, we provide comprehensive hearing tests using the latest technology to help you identify hearing loss.
During your hearing test, you will sit inside a soundproof booth with a pair of headphones on and listen for a series of sounds. These sounds will range in pitch and loudness. We will also perform a speech test by assessing how well you can hear certain words in both quiet and in noise.
If you have noticed a change in your hearing ability, contact us for a hearing test.
Hearing Aid Fitting
Hearing aids should be tailored to the individual wearer. Not only should the hearing aid fit securely yet comfortably in/around your ear, but it should also provide you with the right amount of amplification. With the hearing aids in your ears, we will run some diagnostic tests to ensure your devices are programmed optimally for you. We encourage our patients to come back in for a follow-up appointment after their initial fitting so we can fine-tune the hearing aids. We want to ensure you can hear in your specific environments.
Hearing Aid Repairs
While hearing aids are incredibly durable devices, like any technology they sometimes require repairs or maintenance. At PurTone Hearing Centers, we are able to repair hearing aids and get them working like new again. We can troubleshoot most issues and fix your devices in the office. If your hearing aids have experienced more significant damage, we can send them to the manufacturer for you.
In addition to repairs, we can also perform professional cleanings on your hearing aids. We recommend bringing your aids into our office every six months for a clean and check. This will ensure you get the most out of your devices and they last you for many years.

Tinnitus Management
Tinnitus, also known as “ringing in the ears,” is when you hear a buzzing, humming, ringing, or whistling sound when no external noise is present. Almost everyone experiences tinnitus at some point in their life. The symptoms can range from quiet to loud, low pitch or high pitch, and can be occasional or constant.
At PurTone Hearing Centers, we offer tinnitus treatments in the form of hearing aids to help alleviate the perception of tinnitus. Tinnitus masking hearing aids can play soothing sounds in your ears to help distract your brain from tinnitus. While hearing aids won’t stop ringing in the ears completely, they can help you experience relief.
If you want to stop bothersome tinnitus, contact us today.
Hearing Protection
Behind age, loud noise exposure is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Individuals should do their best to avoid noise that exceeds the safe threshold of sound – 85 decibels. If you can’t avoid loud noise, then hearing protection is recommended to prevent noise induced hearing loss.
At PurTone Hearing Centers, we carry a wide range of custom fit earmolds and earplugs to protect your hearing ability. Using a silicon material, we can create earplugs that allow you to hear the soft sounds around you while protecting your ear from loud noise that could cause damage to the hearing nerve. We can create custom hearing protection for:
- Musicians
- Construction workers
- Athletes
- First-responders
No matter what your hearing needs are, we can help you protect your ears now and for the future. Contact us today to learn more about our options for custom hearing protection.
Earwax Removal
Earwax is a natural part of healthy ears, but sometimes it can build-up and become impacted. When this happens, you may experience clogged ears, discomfort, and even muffled hearing. Although it may be tempting to remove earwax on your own using a cotton swab, this can be more harmful than good. Cotton swabs can push earwax further into the ear canal, causing impaction. Instead, contact our office for an ear cleaning.
Our team can safely and effectively remove stubborn earwax, so you can get back to hearing – and feeling – your best again.
