What To Expect

A hearing assessment involves several steps:

Medical History: Your audiologist will begin by asking about any factors that might affect your hearing.
Physical Exam: The audiologist will check for obstructions or abnormalities in the ear.
Pure-Tone Audiometry: This test involves listening to a series of tones to determine the quietest sounds you can hear at each frequency.
Speech Audiometry: You will listen to and repeat speech at different volumes to evaluate your ability to hear and understand speech.
Tympanometry: This test measures the movement of your eardrum in response to changes in air pressure, helping to identify potential medical issues with the middle ear.
Bone Conduction Testing: This test bypasses the outer and middle ear by sending sound vibrations directly to the inner ear.
