DIAGNOSTIC HEARING TESTING |
A diagnostic hearing test consists of checking the entire hearing system including the three parts of the ear all the way up to the brain stem and up to and including the auditory cortex, the area where hearing is processed in the brain. It is a painless examination that includes what we all remember from grade school as hearing those “beeps or tones,” as well as checking a patient’s speech clarity/ understanding of simple words. Lastly, It also includes a check-up of the ear canal and eardrum health. |
