Evaluations
We are proud that Associates in ENT offers hearing evaluations in sound proof rooms that are part of the hearing labs at all of our offices, making us one of the most convenient choices for hearing tests in this region.
A basic audiological evaluation will include an audiogram, middle ear testing and an assessment of speech recognition. We test both children and adults, though the process will differ slightly based on age.
When we perform an audiogram, we are creating a graph of your hearing ability. There is a normal range of how well you can hear loud and soft noises. In an evaluation, one of the audiologists will introduce tones of different pitches to your ear, and will ask the patient to respond (usually by holding up a hand) as the tones get softer. We will be tracking to see how far beyond the normal range you can hear as the tones seemingly get softer and farther away.
If you have any questions about or want to schedule an evaluation, call (423)-209-9111.
