Hearing testing helps identify hearing problems by measuring your ability to hear sounds at different pitches and volumes. It enables audiologists to diagnose hearing loss and recommend appropriate treatment or hearing solutions.
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a standard hearing test used to determine the softest sounds a person can hear at different frequencies (pitches). It helps identify the type, degree, and configuration of hearing loss in each ear. During the test, the patient wears headphones and responds whenever a sound is heard. PTA is a safe, painless, and reliable method for evaluating hearing sensitivity and planning appropriate treatment or hearing aid recommendations.
Immittance Audiometry (Tympanometry) is a quick, safe, and painless test used to assess the function of the middle ear and eardrum. The test measures how the eardrum responds to changes in air pressure and helps identify conditions such as middle ear fluid, ear infections, Eustachian tube dysfunction, perforated eardrum, and ossicular abnormalities.
Acoustic Reflex Testing evaluates the automatic contraction of the middle ear muscles in response to loud sounds. This test provides valuable information about the integrity of the auditory pathway, middle ear function, and facial nerve function. It helps in the diagnosis of various hearing and neurological disorders.
Aided Audiometry is a hearing assessment performed while the patient is wearing hearing aids or other amplification devices. The test measures the benefit provided by the hearing aid, helping to determine how effectively the device improves hearing and speech understanding in everyday listening situations.
Tinnitus Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted to understand the nature and severity of tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds in the ears). The assessment helps identify possible underlying causes, determine the impact of tinnitus on daily life, and guide appropriate management and treatment strategies.
Speech Audiometry is a specialized hearing assessment that evaluates a person's ability to detect, recognize, and understand speech. It provides important information about communication abilities and helps in the diagnosis of hearing disorders as well as hearing aid fitting and rehabilitation planning.
Word Recognition Score (WRS) measures how accurately a person can understand and repeat spoken words presented at a comfortable listening level. It helps assess speech clarity and auditory processing abilities.
Speech Discrimination Score (SDS) evaluates the ability to distinguish and correctly identify speech sounds and words. It provides information about how clearly speech is perceived, even when sounds are loud enough to hear.
Speech Awareness Threshold (SAT) is the lowest level at which an individual can detect the presence of speech without necessarily understanding the words. It is particularly useful for testing young children and individuals who cannot perform conventional speech recognition tasks.
Uncomfortable Loudness Level (UCL) determines the intensity at which sound becomes uncomfortably loud for the listener. This information is important for hearing aid programming and loudness management.
Most Comfortable Level (MCL) is the sound intensity level at which speech is heard most comfortably by the listener. It helps in hearing aid fitting and optimizing listening comfort during communication.
SISI is used to assess a person's ability to detect very small increases in sound intensity. It helps differentiate between cochlear (sensory) and retrocochlear (neural) hearing disorders. High SISI scores are commonly associated with cochlear hearing loss.
TDT evaluates the ability to continuously hear a tone over a period of time. It is primarily used to detect retrocochlear pathology, such as auditory nerve lesions. Significant tone decay may indicate neural involvement in hearing impairment.
ABLB is used to identify the presence of recruitment in individuals with unilateral hearing loss. The test compares loudness perception between the normal ear and the impaired ear. It is particularly useful in diagnosing cochlear hearing disorders.
MLB assesses loudness perception within the same ear at different intensity levels. It is commonly used when both ears have hearing loss and ABLB cannot be performed. The test helps evaluate loudness recruitment and cochlear function.
Pediatric / Objective Hearing Assessment
Free-Field Audiometry is a hearing assessment performed using speakers in a sound-treated room instead of headphones. It is commonly used for infants, young children, and individuals who cannot reliably respond during conventional hearing tests. The test evaluates hearing responses to sounds presented in a natural listening environment.
BOA is a behavioral hearing assessment used for newborns and infants up to approximately 6 months of age. The audiologist observes the baby's responses to sound, such as eye widening, blinking, startle reflex, or changes in sucking behavior. It provides preliminary information about hearing sensitivity.
OAE is a quick, objective, and non-invasive test that evaluates the function of the cochlea (outer hair cells). It is widely used for newborn hearing screening and early detection of hearing loss. The test does not require any active participation from the child.
BERA/ABR is an objective test that measures the auditory nerve and brainstem's response to sound stimuli. It is commonly used for infants, young children, and difficult-to-test patients to estimate hearing thresholds and identify auditory pathway abnormalities.
ASSR is an advanced electrophysiological hearing test used to estimate frequency-specific hearing thresholds objectively. It is particularly useful for assessing severe to profound hearing loss in infants and young children and for hearing aid fitting and cochlear implant candidacy evaluation.
Electrocochleography (ECochG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical responses generated by the inner ear (cochlea) and auditory nerve in response to sound stimulation. It is commonly used in the evaluation of Ménière's disease, endolymphatic hydrops, and certain inner ear disorders.
Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) is a specialized test used to assess the function of the otolith organs (saccule and utricle) and their associated vestibular pathways. It helps diagnose vestibular disorders, balance problems, and superior semicircular canal dehiscence.
ENG and VNG are comprehensive vestibular tests used to evaluate the function of the balance system by recording and analyzing eye movements. These tests help identify the cause of dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and vestibular disorders.
Tinnitus Therapy is a specialized rehabilitation program designed to help individuals manage the effects of tinnitus, commonly experienced as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds in the ears. The therapy may include counseling, sound therapy, tinnitus retraining techniques, and hearing aid support to reduce tinnitus-related distress and improve quality of life.
