What to Expect at a Hearing Test
-
We use an otoscope to visually inspect the integrity of your outer ear and eardrum. We will remove any occluding ear wax prior to testing.
-
Tympanometry is used to assess your middle ear function. This helps identify issues such as negative middle ear pressure, fluid build-up, and eardrum perforations.
-
You will listen for very quiet sounds at different pitches. This shows us your hearing thresholds, the softest sounds you can detect.
-
Bone conduction testing allows us to understand whether your hearing loss is conductive, sensorineural, or a mixture of both.
-
Speech audiometry determines your ability to hear and understand words in a quiet environment.
-
Speech-in-noise testing determines how well you can understand speech in the presence of background noise.
