Our experienced audiologists will begin evaluation by reviewing your medical history and asking about any symptoms or concerns related to your hearing.
The audiologist will examine your outer ear and ear canal to check for any signs of abnormalities or blockages.
This is the most common type of hearing test and involves wearing headphones and listening to a series of tones at different frequencies and volumes. You will be asked to indicate when you hear each tone by pressing a button or raising your hand.
This test measures your ability to hear and understand speech in different listening conditions. You will listen to spoken words or sentences at different volumes and in different background noise levels, and you will be asked to repeat what you hear.
Depending on the results of the initial tests, the audiologist may conduct additional tests to evaluate your hearing further. These may include tests to evaluate your middle ear function or your ability to hear sounds that are not pure tones, such as speech or music.
