Once a hearing baseline is established, hearing can be effectively monitored, preventive measures can be implemented, and treatment can be prescribed sooner than later if hearing begins to change. Early detection and treatment of hearing loss helps you maintain the hearing that you have left as well as improve treatment outcomes.
WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT DURING YOUR HEARING TEST?
- Review your detailed ear, health and medical history
- Check your ears to make sure they are clear and healthy
- Evaluate the softest sounds you can hear
- Determine how well you understand speech in quiet, and in noise, as needed
- Test your eardrum function, acoustic reflex pathways, outer hair cell function, and auditory brainstem response, as needed
