Hearing Tests
Hearing tests are diagnostic procedures designed to assess a person's ability to perceive sounds at varying pitches and loudness levels.
Our Service Steps
Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed consultation, discussing your health history, including any medications linked to hearing loss or physical damage to your ears. This information helps us provide a more personalized and effective hearing solution.
Ear Examination
Next, we perform an in-depth ear examination using an otoscope. This tool allows us to inspect your ears for any physical blockages or issues such as earwax buildup or inflammation.
Hearing Evaluation
We conduct various hearing tests tailored to your specific needs, including pure-tone audiometry, speech recognition tests, and bone conduction tests. These evaluate different aspects of your hearing function.
Understanding Your Results
After completing the tests, we discuss your results in detail. We provide a comprehensive report on your hearing capabilities, answer all your questions, and help you understand your hearing profile. If hearing loss is detected, we collaboratively formulate a tailored action plan.

- Pure-Tone Audiometry: Measures your ability to hear sounds at different pitches and volumes.
- Speech Recognition Test: Evaluates how well you understand speech in various conditions.
- Tympanometry: Assesses the function of your middle ear and eardrum.
After completing these tests, our audiologists analyze the results and provide you with a detailed explanation of your hearing status. If any hearing loss is detected, we discuss the type and degree of loss, and collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan.
