Our Hearing Evaluations and Testing Methods
Our audiologists use a variety of specialized hearing tests to diagnose hearing disorders. Each test is designed to identify specific issues, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and allowing us to recommend the most effective treatment or hearing devices. Some of the testing methods we use include:
- Audiometry: This type of testing evaluates each patient’s ability to hear sounds based on their intensity or vibration.
- Tympanometry: This examination tests the condition of each patient’s middle ear. It also allows the doctor to detect otitis media or inflammatory disease.
- Otoacoustic Emissions: The OAE test is used to find out how well your inner ear or cochlea works. It measures otoacoustic emissions, or OAEs.
