What to Expect at a Hearing Test
Degrees of Hearing Loss
We’ll start your hearing test by asking you a few questions about your hearing and health history to determine the cause of your hearing loss. We’ll also perform a short visual exam to check your ears for any signs of injury or illness that could be affecting your hearing. Even a buildup of earwax can cause hearing loss, so we’ll make sure you don’t have an earwax obstruction that’s affecting your hearing.
A hearing exam is designed to test your ability to hear loud and soft sounds at both high and low pitches. At Hearing Centers of Indiana, our hearing aid specialists will test your hearing range, and discover your hearing threshold. You’ll listen to a series of sounds at various frequencies and volumes, and all you’ll have to do is indicate whether you’ve heard the sound.
