Audiological Testing

Comprehensive Hearing Evaluations for All Ages

At our clinic, we provide complete hearing assessments for both adults and children. Audiological testing helps identify hearing loss, determine its cause, and guide the most effective treatment or management plan. Using advanced technology and evidence-based methods, we ensure accurate results and personalized care for every patient.

Adult Audiological Testing

Adult hearing evaluations assess how well you detect and understand sounds and how your ears are functioning. Testing may include:

  • Pure-tone audiometry – measures hearing sensitivity across different pitches.
  • Speech testing – evaluates clarity and understanding.
  • Middle ear analysis (tympanometry) – checks the eardrum and middle ear function.

Why It’s Important

Healthy hearing is essential for communication, safety, and overall well-being. Early detection allows for timely treatment and better long-term outcomes. Audiological testing helps:

  • Identify the type and degree of hearing loss.
  • Monitor changes in hearing over time.
  • Guide hearing aid fitting or medical referrals.
  • Support clearer communication in daily life.

Pediatric Audiological Testing

Pediatric hearing assessments are designed specifically for infants, children, and adolescents. Because young children may not always respond the same way as adults, our audiologists use specialized, age-appropriate methods such as:

  • Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA)
  • Play Audiometry
  • Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
  • Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)

Why It’s Important

Hearing is critical for a child’s speech, language, learning, and social development. Even mild hearing loss can impact communication and school performance if not detected early. Pediatric testing helps:

  • Detect hearing loss early, even in newborns.
  • Identify middle ear problems, such as fluid or infections.
  • Monitor hearing changes as a child grows.
  • Support timely treatment and intervention.
