Cognitive Screenings
At Hearing Consultants, our audiology experts are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to detect and manage hearing loss and cognitive decline.
Our Service Steps
Initial Assessment
We begin with a brief discussion about your hearing health, lifestyle, and any cognitive concerns you may have. This helps us tailor the screening process to your specific needs.
Cognivue Screening
We use the Cognivue system, a quick and non-invasive tool that evaluates various aspects of cognitive function, including memory, executive function, and processing speed.
Results Interpretation
After the screening, we review your results with you, explaining what they mean in the context of your overall health and hearing status.
Understanding Your Cognitive Health
The cognitive screening provides valuable information about your brain's processing abilities. We use this information to develop a comprehensive plan that addresses both your hearing and cognitive health needs.

Cognitive health is closely linked to hearing health, and understanding this connection is crucial for overall well-being. At Hearing Consultants, we are committed to providing comprehensive care that addresses both hearing and cognitive function through our advanced cognitive screening services.
Our cognitive screening process begins with a brief discussion about your hearing health, lifestyle, and any cognitive concerns you may have. This helps us tailor the screening to your specific needs and provides valuable context for interpreting the results.
We use the Cognivue system, a state-of-the-art tool designed to evaluate various aspects of cognitive function quickly and non-invasively. This screening assesses key areas such as:
- Memory Performance: Evaluating your ability to recall information.
- Executive Function: Assessing your planning and problem-solving skills.
- Processing Speed: Measuring how quickly you can process information.
- Reaction Time: Testing your response speed to visual and auditory stimuli.
After the screening, our audiologists review the results with you in detail. We explain what these results mean in the context of your overall health and hearing status, and how they might influence your hearing treatment plan.
The cognitive screening provides valuable insights that allow us to develop a more comprehensive approach to your hearing care. For individuals with hearing loss, this information can be particularly crucial, as untreated hearing issues can impact cognitive performance over time.

A cognitive screening is a brief test that assesses various aspects of cognitive function, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
Most cognitive screenings take about 10-30 minutes to complete.
Hearing loss has been linked to cognitive decline. Early detection through screening can lead to better management of both conditions.
If the screening suggests cognitive concerns, we'll discuss the results with you and may recommend further evaluation by a specialist.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. We can help you understand your coverage before the screening.
