Comprehensive Assessment of Hearing

Our assessment of hearing is designed to identify disorders that may interfere with the ability to communicate on a daily basis and can ultimately decrease one’s quality of life. The test battery aims to measure the degree and type of hearing loss. It includes audiometry and immittance testing for adults and a pediatric-specific test battery when appropriate.

What Does an Audiologist Measure?

How your ears respond to loud sounds
The quietest sound you can hear at different pitches
How well you can hear speech
The movement capacity of your eardrum
What type of hearing loss you have
