Hearing Tests/Services

Audiological Evaluation

An audiological evaluation is comprised of speech testing and pure-tone testing. Speech testing evaluates the softest level the patient can hear and understand speech. It also evaluates the patient’s ability to discriminate. Sometimes single words are used. Sometimes sentences are used. Pure-tone testing measures the patient’s ability to hear tones at a variety of frequencies or pitches.

Middle Ear Assessments

Middle ear assessments are important in determining medical conditions for hearing loss. Testing may include tympanometry, acoustic reflexes, or reflex decay.

Hearing Aid Evaluations

Testing may include components of an audiological evaluation as well as additional speech tests. Functional hearing will be evaluated and goals established for aided hearing.
