What type of hearing test should I expect?
Hearing tests are designed to find out what type of hearing loss you are suffering from and its severity. The type of test can depend on age, the condition of the middle and outer ear, and other factors. One of the most common forms of testing is an audiogram.
The Audiogram
During an audiogram, the audiologist will ask you to identify different sounds, such as beeps, clicks, or tones. This can be done in a sound booth or in an open field. The loudness of the sound and the pitch (high or low) will be varied to determine your range of hearing. This test is important for identifying the severity and type of hearing loss you have.
Other types of hearing tests include:
- Tympanometry
- Acoustic Reflex Testing
- Otoacoustic Emissions
Allergy Testing
There are many different allergy types out there and the best way to find out which allergens you are allergic to is to get tested. Although no allergy test is perfect, your doctor should be able to tell you what you are allergic to after being tested.
