Hearing Tests in Valencia, CA
Millions of people have hearing loss, yet for many they don’t even realize they have it. Whether you feel your hearing isn’t what it used to be, or it’s been a while since you’ve last had your hearing examined, a hearing test is a great start.
The purpose of a hearing test is to assess your ability to hear different sounds at various frequencies. Our audiologist will record your hearing on an audiogram and use the information to determine a management plan that will work for your unique hearing needs. During your appointment, a speech in noise test will be performed to see how well you can hear words when there is background noise.
Hearing Aid Fittings
To get the most out of your hearing aids, your devices need to be appropriately fit and adjusted to your individual needs. Our hearing specialist will ensure your hearing aids sit securely yet comfortably in/around your ears as well as program them based on your hearing prescription.
During your hearing aid fitting appointment, we will discuss your specific needs including your lifestyle and personal preferences, the type of hearing loss you have, and the degree of hearing loss. This information helps our team recommend a hearing aid that will suit all your needs.

Custom Hearing Protection
Loud noise exposure is one of the most common causes of hearing loss, and it’s the most preventable. The structures of the inner ear are delicate, and loud noise can cause irreversible damage. Whether you work in an occupation where the noise levels can be hazardous or you enjoy hobbies that can get loud, hearing protection is a must.
At Santa Clarita Hearing Center, we offer a wide range of custom fit earmolds and earplugs for optimal hearing protection. Custom fit hearing protection is essential for:
- Live music goers
- Industrial and construction workers
- Air traffic controllers
- Machinists
- Musicians

Earwax Management
Earwax, medically known as cerumen, is a natural sign of healthy ears. However, sometimes cerumen can build-up, becoming impacted. When this occurs, you may experience itchiness, tinnitus, muffled hearing, and general discomfort. It may be tempting to remove earwax with a cotton swab, but this can cause more harm than good. Cotton swabs can push wax deeper into the ear canal and can damage the delicate structures of the middle ear.
If earwax is causing you to have clogged ears, contact Santa Clarita Hearing Center. Our audiologist can safely and effectively remove impacted wax, so you can get back to hearing your best again.
Tinnitus Management
Have you ever heard a sound in your ears or head that seems to not exist externally? This is known as tinnitus, or more commonly “ringing in the ears.” Tinnitus is described as hearing a buzzing, humming, ringing, or whistling sound when no other sounds are present. The symptoms of tinnitus can be loud or quiet, sporadic or constant.
While millions of individuals have tinnitus, not everyone experiences it the same way. If you have tinnitus that affects your concentration, sleep quality, or overall quality of life, then you should visit Santa Clarita Hearing Center for a hearing evaluation and tinnitus test.
If you have hearing loss along with tinnitus, hearing aids may be a good solution for you. Tinnitus masking hearing aids can help distract your brain from bothersome tinnitus. Although hearing aids won’t stop ringing in the ears completely, they can greatly help.
