Examination of the Ear Canal
To assess the health of your ear canal and eardrum, we may use an otoscope, a specialized instrument. This examination is painless and provides valuable insights into your ear's condition.
Pure-Tone Audiometry
The core of the hearing test involves pure-tone audiometry, where we assess your ability to hear various tones and pitches. You'll be seated in a soundproof booth or room, and we will provide you with headphones. You'll then listen for tones at different frequencies, indicating when you can hear them by pressing a button or raising your hand. This helps us create an audiogram, a visual representation of your hearing ability.

Speech Recognition Tests
We'll evaluate your speech recognition by having you listen to and repeat words or sentences at varying volumes. This assessment provides essential information about your ability to understand spoken language.
Discussion of Results
Once we have completed the hearing test, we will thoroughly review the results with you. We'll explain the audiogram and discuss your hearing thresholds, indicating the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies. If hearing loss is detected, we'll clearly explain the type and degree of hearing loss.
