Hearing Evaluation
A comprehensive hearing evaluation is conducted in a sound-treated booth to ensure accurate and reliable results. During testing, we determine your hearing thresholds across the frequency spectrum from low to high frequencies, providing a complete picture of your hearing sensitivity. Speech perception testing is also performed to evaluate how well you understand spoken language at various volume levels.
The primary goal of the hearing evaluation is to establish your individual hearing levels across all frequencies, which allows us to determine both the degree and type of hearing loss present. Hearing loss can be classified as conductive (involving the outer or middle ear), sensorineural (involving the inner ear or auditory nerve), or mixed (combining both conductive and sensorineural components). This diagnostic information is essential for developing an appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific hearing profile.
