What to Expect During Your Hearing Evaluation
Our audiologists will begin by discussing your medical history, lifestyle, and any hearing concerns you may have. This information is crucial for understanding the context of your hearing health.
Physical Ear Examination
A thorough examination of your ears will be conducted to check for any physical conditions that may affect your hearing, such as earwax buildup or infections.
Pure-Tone Audiometry
This test measures your ability to hear different frequencies and volumes. You will be asked to respond to a series of tones played through headphones, allowing us to determine your hearing threshold levels.
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)
OAEs are sounds emitted by the inner ear in response to auditory stimulation. This test helps us evaluate the function of the cochlea, which is crucial for hearing.
Speech Audiometry
Speech audiometry evaluates your ability to hear and understand speech. You will be asked to repeat words and sentences at various volumes, helping us assess your speech recognition capabilities.
Middle Ear Testing (Tympanometry)
Tympanometry tests the function of your middle ear by varying air pressure in the ear canal. This helps identify issues such as fluid behind the eardrum or eustachian tube dysfunction.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Based on the results of your diagnostic hearing tests, our audiologists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include:
-
- Hearing aids or assistive listening devices
- Medical referrals for conditions requiring surgical or medical intervention
- Aural rehabilitation and communication strategies
