A hearing evaluation lasts 60 to 90 minutes. The audiologist will ask about your hearing concerns, noise exposure history, and medical history. Testing takes place in a soundproof booth and includes pure-tone audiometry (beep test), speech recognition testing, and middle ear function testing (tympanometry). Results are shown on an audiogram. If hearing loss is found, the audiologist will explain the type and degree and discuss options. For hearing aids, a separate fitting appointment (60 minutes) involves selecting devices, taking ear impressions or scans, and programming the aids to your hearing profile.
See an audiologist if you have difficulty hearing conversations (especially in noisy environments), need people to repeat themselves frequently, turn up the TV louder than others prefer, experience ringing or buzzing in your ears (tinnitus), have dizziness or balance problems, or were exposed to a loud noise that affected your hearing. Newborns who do not pass their hospital hearing screening are referred to an audiologist. Adults should have a baseline hearing test by age 50, or earlier if exposed to noise at work or through hobbies.
