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 that are designed to discover

the specific types of environments in which you

may be experiencing some difficulty in hearing.

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 first test that is

conducted is the pure tone

hearing test. This is

conducted in a quiet

environment, sometimes

in a soundproof booth.

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.

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.

The next step is

to consider

treatment

solutions.
