Comprehensive Hearing Assessments
If you're experiencing difficulty keeping up with your favorite show or missing important details at work due to difficulty hearing during meetings, it could be indicative of hearing loss. Hearing loss can result in feelings of exclusion and disconnection.
At Allen Audiology, our primary goal is to assist you in restoring your hearing. We begin this process by conducting a comprehensive hearing test.
A hearing test plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal hearing health. By utilizing various screening and diagnostic techniques, we can accurately assess the severity of any impairment, as well as identify the specific audio frequencies affected. This enables us to detect the earliest signs of hearing loss, often before individuals experience noticeable symptoms.
Even in cases where no hearing loss is apparent, a hearing test establishes a valuable baseline for monitoring future declines. Upon completion of the diagnostic assessment, we can recommend the most suitable course of action for your specific needs.
It's time to address your hearing loss.
Audiometry:
The audiometry test is widely recognized as the most common hearing assessment method. During this diagnostic procedure, which is performed in a quiet controlled environment, individuals wear headphones and are instructed to respond to sounds of various frequencies and intensities. The results will be recorded on an audiogram.
Speech testing:
Tones do not tell the full story. Therefore, to accurately assess your hearing abilities, we will conduct a speech test. During this test, we will provide you with a pre-set list of words and phrases to repeat. The purpose of this assessment is to determine how clearly you can hear and understand spoken words. By evaluating your capability to discern speech, we can gain valuable insights into your auditory acuity.
There are various types of tests available to assess specific aspects of your hearing health. Our assessment process involves evaluating your symptoms and selecting the most appropriate hearing tests to address your needs.
