Pure-tone audiometry
  • Pure-tone audiometry is the most common hearing test, where you wear headphones or earphones in a soundproof room and respond to sounds played at different frequencies and loudness.
Otoacoustic emissions tests (OAE)
  • OAE testing often is used as a screening tool to determine the presence or absence of cochlear function, although analysis can be performed for individual cochlear frequency regions.
Play audiometry
  • Play Audiometry is an assessment For children between 1.5 and 5 years old, where sounds are played through headphones or speakers and the child performs a task when they hear the sound.
Speech-in-noise tests
  • Use headphones and pre-recorded sounds to replicate everyday environments where background noise can cause problems for people with hearing loss.
Tuning fork tests
  • Also known as bone conduction tests, these tests help determine if you have nerve problems in your inner ear or fluid or wax in your ear.
Tympanometry tests
  • A tympanometry test measures how well your eardrum moves in response to air pressure changes, and can help diagnose middle ear issues
