Comprehensive Hearing Assessments
A hearing assessment is the first step to see if you have hearing loss. If you have concerns about your hearing, we invite you to book a no-obligation hearing assessment. You can request an appointment online or call (515) 724-0830.
If you’re concerned about your hearing or a loved one’s hearing, it can be overwhelming and confusing.
A licensed hearing care provider will inspect your ears and use various methods to check your hearing.
You will sit in a comfortable soundproof room or sound booth and wear headphones. Then we will ask you to listen to and respond to various tones, speech sounds and voices. Your responses will be recorded on an audiogram and the results will help indicate if you have hearing loss or not.
We are happy to answer any questions and fully review your results with you. Generally a hearing assessment and consultation takes less than an hour.
Advanced Hearing Aid Technology
We will demonstrate the different types of hearing aids, including behind-the-ear hearing aids and almost invisible hearing aids.
Together with your hearing care provider, you will identify what is the best hearing aid for your lifestyle. You will be able to try on and test out how the hearing aids feel and work. Today's hearing aids are modern, tasteful and discreet.
In addition, our hearing aids are more technically advanced than ever before. We are confident that you will love your new hearing aids, but if you aren't completely satisfied with them, you have 30 days** to return them.
If you have been wearing hearing aids for years, you might not have noticed changes in your hearing. All HearingLife hearing care providers are licensed by state.
Tinnitus Management
If you or a loved one has been struggling with tinnitus symptoms, there is a possibility of relief on the horizon with the help of a tinnitus audiologist’s hearing screening.
Your audiologist will take you through one of our comprehensive hearing assessments to see if hearing loss has contributed to your tinnitus symptoms. With the results of your hearing assessment in hand, we’ll continue on to your tinnitus screening; this involves a few measurements and questions to see how tinnitus has impacted your daily life.
If your assessment indicates hearing loss, we can recommend advanced hearing aid technology to manage both at once.
White noise machines to focus on when you’re trying to sleep can help take your mind’s focus away from the noises of tinnitus, shifting your brain’s attention and retraining it to listen to the sounds outside. Audiologist-led counseling programs can also help you reduce and manage how you react to your tinnitus.

Patient Experiences
My experience with Woodard Hearing was flawless. All the office staff and the doctor were great to work with. Kalyn was very personable and friendly. The doctor cares so much and wants you to understand everything. Patiently taking time to explain and making sure you feel like you can master this big change in your life long habits. I hated missing out on things because I couldn't hear.

Patient Reviews for Mercy ENT Clinic
Here are some verified patient reviews:
- “He just actually took time to look in the ear where my concerns were and he was really nice." - Noah P.
- “To whom it may concern: I paid $6000 in 2019 for my hearing aids which I purchased from Mercy ENT Clive. Today I called to see if they could put a piece back on that had fallen off. When I saw the audiologist she told me there would be a $50 charge! Expectations would be that there would be a level of support for repair with this quality of hearing aid. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know of your concern." - Barbara G. Tiffany M. Doug B.
