Hearing Evaluation
Your Comprehensive Hearing Evaluation is painless and under 60 minutes!
Diagnostic Exam and Video Otoscope
It enables us to examine external and internal ear with video technology. Before using a video otoscope, our professional audiologists conduct a diagnostic examination of your ears.
Video Otoscopy enables us to observe the ear canal and eardrum. It proves to be highly beneficial to understand the conditions that affect the ear. Consequently, we become able to suggest a condition related treatment.
Tympanometry
Tympanometry test is the assessment of middle ear and its ability to transmit sound energy by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal with the Tympanometry machine. It presents a graph called, tympanogram that examines the movement of eardrum during the process.
Equal pressure on both sides of ear drum means sound can pass through normally. Tympanometry tests are also conducted for Tinnitus.
Air Conduction
Air conduction testing is the procedure of determining auditory sensitivity. Air conduction is the initial measurement for subjective hearing loss.
During air conduction testing, the sound vibrations are transmitted to ear drum to identify the obstructions in the outer, middle, and inner ear. This type of audiometry effectively measures the level of hearing loss.
Bone Conduction
Does the phrase “Hearing Evaluation” intimidate you? No need to get worried. Bone conduction is a simple and painless hearing evaluation. The process is very quickly completed. The result of this test will help your doctor to pinpoint the exact site of the problem.
This helps identify the best treatment plan for your hearing loss based on your specific needs.
Speech Testing
Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT)
A Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT) test measures your ability to recognize words at different levels of sound. The volume of the words will lower, or increase based on your response.
Most Comfortable listening level
The Most Comfortable Listening Level testing measures what sound level is the one you prefer for enjoying music or watching television.
Most Uncomfortable listening level
The Most Uncomfortable Listening Level test starts at your most comfortable level of sound and increases until it reaches an uncomfortably loud level of sound.
The Word Recognition Test
The Word Recognition test consists of fifty-one syllable words (such as Hand or Cat) said to you at your most comfortable listening level. You will repeat each word you hear.
Speech in Noise (Quick SIN)
Speech in Noise (Quick SIN) is a test designed to establish a person's speech to noise ratio hearing loss. That is what you want to hear vs any noise that is interfering with the sound.
