Hearing Tests & Evaluations

A hearing evaluation is a series of painless tests that assess your entire auditory system — how well you hear across pitches and volumes, how clearly you understand speech, and whether your middle and inner ear are functioning properly.

• Covers patients of all ages — kids ages 5 and up, adults, and seniors
• Identifies conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss
• Early detection reduces risk of isolation, cognitive decline, and falls

The cornerstone of every hearing evaluation. Measures the softest sounds you can hear from 250 Hz to 8000 Hz. Results are plotted on an audiogram — a visual map of your hearing.

• Listen to tones through headphones in a sound-treated room
• Bone conduction testing pinpoints where hearing loss originates
• Painless and takes about 15–20 minutes

Measures how well you understand spoken words — not just detect them. Many patients hear people talking but struggle to make out what's being said.

• Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT): Softest level you can repeat words
• Word Recognition Score: Clarity of speech at comfortable volume
• Speech-in-Noise Testing: Understanding in real-world noisy environments

A quick, painless test that evaluates your eardrum and middle ear bones. A small probe measures how your eardrum moves in response to controlled air pressure.

• Detects fluid, perforations, and Eustachian tube dysfunction
• No behavioral response needed — the probe does the work
• Results available immediately

OAE testing checks the health of your inner ear hair cells by measuring faint "echoes" they produce in response to sound. Useful as a cross-check during pediatric and adult hearing evaluations.

• No behavioral response required
• Detects early noise-induced damage before it shows on standard tests
• Recommended for anyone over 50, those with noise exposure, or tinnitus
