Purpose of the Test

Getting a hearing test can help identify any hearing loss, which can then be managed with appropriate interventions such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other therapies. If left untreated, hearing loss can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life, making communication and social interactions challenging.

When this test is required

A hearing test may be requested by a healthcare provider, such as an ENT doctor or an audiologist. It can also be initiated by the individual if they are experiencing hearing difficulties.

What the Test Detects

During a hearing test, the audiologist will evaluate how well you can hear sounds of different frequencies and volumes. The test measures the softest sounds you can hear at each frequency tested, and the results are plotted on an audiogram.

Preparation for the Test

No preparation is needed for a hearing test. However, it is advisable to inform the audiologist about any medication or health conditions that may affect the hearing test results.

Sample Requirements

No sample is required for a hearing test.

Additional Notes

It is essential to get a hearing test regularly, especially if you have a family history of hearing loss or are frequently exposed to loud noises. Intertone-ITC hearing aids can improve your hearing ability and quality of life. However, it is essential to follow up with an audiologist to ensure the hearing aids are working correctly and adjusted to your specific hearing needs.
