We will then work on gathering your past medical records, including prior hearing and balance testing, imaging (MRI\/CT), and recent progress notes from your current physician and any specialists you\u2019ve seen. Once we\u2019ve gathered all your information, we will schedule you for an appointment. Please allow 2-3 weeks for this process to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day of your appointment, please allow at least 15-20 minutes extra for parking. Upon check-in, you will be asked to complete the New Patient Paperwork, if you have not yet completed it online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your appointment, you will start with a hearing test and tympanogram. These tests will provide the physician with a baseline for diagnosing and treating your medical condition. You will then meet with the physician to discuss the problems you are having with your ears. The physician will perform a variety of in-office testing and may order follow-up testing to occur on another day. Those tests might include imaging, balance testing, additional hearing testing, and auditory brainstem response testing. After your testing is completed, you will have another appointment with the doctor to discuss the test results and develop an individualized treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"content-cta-container\">\n<div class=\"content-cta-top-text\">Call Rocky Mountain Ear Center for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-cta-ph-num-container\">\n<div class=\"content-cta-ph-num-box\">\n<div class=\"content-cta-ph-num-top\">\n<div class=\"content-cta-ph-num-top\"><a href=\"tel:+13037839220\" class=\"phone content-cta-ph-num\"><svg width=\"11\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 11 18\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M9.0036 0H1.7964C1.31997 0 0.863044 0.189263 0.526153 0.526153C0.189263 0.863044 0 1.31997 0 1.7964V16.2027C0 17.1954 0.8046 18 1.7964 18H9.0027C9.47922 18 9.93623 17.8108 10.2733 17.4739C10.6103 17.137 10.7998 16.6801 10.8 16.2036V1.7964C10.8 1.31997 10.6107 0.863044 10.2738 0.526153C9.93696 0.189263 9.48003 0 9.0036 0V0ZM5.4 17.1C4.779 17.1 4.275 16.6977 4.275 16.2C4.275 15.7023 4.779 15.3 5.4 15.3C6.021 15.3 6.525 15.7023 6.525 16.2C6.525 16.6977 6.021 17.1 5.4 17.1ZM9 14.4H1.8V1.8H9V14.4Z\" fill=\"#035440\"\/>\n<\/svg><br \/>\n<span class=\"phone-number\">(303) 783-9220<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/rockymountainearcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/med-ears-ov-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1953 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rockymountainearcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/med-ears-ov-3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rockymountainearcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/med-ears-ov-3-256x256.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In several cases, hearing loss can be a symptom of another underlying condition as opposed to a problem on its own.
