Hearing Tests
Comprehensive Hearing Evaluations
A complete hearing evaluation is the first step toward understanding your hearing health. Our detailed testing process allows us to identify the source of your hearing difficulties and determine the most effective treatment options tailored to your needs.
1. Case History & Hearing Health Review
We begin with a conversation about your medical history, current medications, and any past hearing issues or noise exposure. This information helps us identify potential medical factors that may be contributing to your hearing loss.
2. Physical Ear Examination
Next, we examine your ears to check for wax buildup, blockages, or any physical conditions that may be affecting your hearing. Ruling out these causes ensures the accuracy of your overall evaluation.
3. Auditory Nerve Assessment
We then perform tests that measure how well your auditory nerve is functioning. This step helps determine whether nerve-related hearing loss or other neurological factors may be present.
4. Speech Understanding Test
Understanding speech clearly is just as important as hearing sound. This portion of the exam evaluates how well you recognize and interpret spoken words at various volumes and in different listening environments.
5. Audiogram Review
Finally, we analyze your audiogram, a chart that displays the quietest sounds you can hear across a range of frequencies. This reveals which tones or pitches you struggle with most and helps guide precise treatment recommendations.
Personalized Treatment Recommendations
By combining the results of all five components of the evaluation, we gain a complete picture of your hearing ability. This allows us to recommend the hearing aids, therapies, or solutions that best align with your lifestyle and hearing needs.
