What can I expect in a hearing test?

A diagnostic hearing test helps us determine the quietest sounds you can hear. Here's what you can expect during the appointment:

• Medical History and Background:

   - We will start by asking you some medical questions to understand your health history.

   - We will gather background details related to your hearing and any concerns you may have.

• Ear health Examination:

   - We will check the overall health of your ears to identify any issues that might affect your hearing.

• The Hearing Test:

   - The test involves listening to various sounds at different volumes and pitches.

   - You will typically wear headphones and indicate when you hear a sound by pressing a button or raising your hand.

• Results and Next Steps:

   - After the test, we will explain your hearing levels and provide you with an audiogram, which is a visual representation of your hearing ability.

   - Based on the results, we will discuss any necessary referrals or treatments that may be needed.

By the end of the test, you will have a clear understanding of your hearing health and the next steps if any issues are detected.
