Diagnostic Hearing Evaluations

The audiometric evaluation consists of pure tone air and bone conduction testing. Testing pure tones is done to determine the degree of hearing loss and whether hearing loss is conductive or sensorineural. Speech audiometry is obtained to evaluate the individual’s ability to understand speech at an elevated comfortable volume. Speech discrimination is also tested to determine how much a person will understand when wearing hearing aids.

Diagnostic Hearing Evaluations are designed to obtain accurate results about an individuals hearing so the best recommendation can be made.

Tympanometry is a specialized test that measures how the eardrum functions

Acoustic reflex/decay tests measure how the acoustic signal travels on the path to the brain

Speech in Noise tests tell us how background noise interferes with your hearing.. They are important because most people who have a hearing loss complain that hearing in background noise is difficult or very difficult for them.

Real time hearing instrument mapping allows us to "visualize" the sound that is actually reaching your eardrum through your hearing aids; therefore, we can "see" what sounds you are missing!
