What to Expect During Your Comprehensive Hearing Assessment:
Case History Review: We start by discussing your medical history, any concerns you may have about your hearing, and how your hearing health impacts your daily life.
Physical Examination: Our audiologists will conduct a visual examination of your ears to check for any visible abnormalities or blockages that may affect your hearing.
Pure Tone Audiometry: You will be asked to wear headphones and respond to tones of different frequencies and volumes. This helps us determine the softest sounds you can hear across the entire range of human hearing.
Speech Audiometry: We assess your ability to understand speech in quiet and noisy environments to evaluate your speech discrimination abilities.
Middle Ear Analysis: We use tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing to assess the function of your middle ear and detect any abnormalities that may affect your hearing.
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) Testing: This non-invasive test evaluates the health of your inner ear by measuring the sounds produced by the cochlea in response to stimuli.
Results Discussion: Once the assessment is complete, our audiologists will discuss your results in detail, answer any questions you may have, and provide recommendations for further treatment or management if necessary.
