So What Happens During a Hearing Test

Anyway?

When you arrive for your exam, you will be greeted by the front office staff

and asked to fill out several forms,

including those that record your

personal information,

medical history and verify your insurance.

As your exam begins, your

audiologist will review your

personal information

with you and will ask you

some questions.

Next, the audiologist may

look into your ears by using an

otoscope. This instrument is used

to see the ear canal and the ear drum

and whether or not there is ear wax obstructing the

canal.

The audiologist will place

headphones that are

connected to an audiometer over your ears.

Next is speech testing, when you will

listen to a series of one and two syllable

words at different volumes and be

asked to repeat them. This will determine

the level at which you can not only detect,

but understand speech.

The results of your tests will be

recorded on a form called an

audiogram, which the audiologist will

review with you. The audiogram reflects your hearing loss in

frequencies and decibels.

Your audiologist will then relate these

results to your concerns about your

hearing. The next step is to consider

treatment solutions.
