If you already have a hearing evaluation report, done by an audiologist, that is less than 6 months old, schedule a free consultation. Find out why you should purchase your hearing aids from Family Hearing Center!
You will also be tested using a series of low & high frequency words to determine your ability to understand verbiage within a conversation. We will also give you several words to repeat. The results will help us determine your percentage of hearing loss, your ability to understand speech and if hearing aids will help you.
Typanometry, acoustic reflex testing, and otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are other tests available to further evaluate your hearing.
We provide hearing tests and auditory processsing evaluations as well as fitting hearing aids.
Acoustically evoked otoacoustic emission testing allows the audiologist to understand how the outer hair cells of your inner ear are working.
The purpose of a complete diagnostic hearing assessment is to determine if a hearing problem exists. If it does, appropriate
recommendations for medical referral, hearing aid use, assistive listening devices or other options will be discussed.
PEDIATRIC: Children are accompanied into the test booth by their parent or caregiver. Children under the age of five are typically evaluated by two audiologists. Various testing methods are used depending on the age of the child, including visual reinforcment audiometry (VRA) and conditioned play audiometry. VRA involves the pairing of sound with the lighting or movement of a toy. A child is conditioned to this task. Conditioned play audiometry involves conditioning a child to perform a task (stacking blocks, completing a puzzle) when the child hears a sound. Objective tests include Immittance testing to assess middle ear function and Otoacoustic Emission testing to assess the integrity of the outer hair cells of the inner ear.
ADULTS: A complete audiological evaluation includes Pure Tone Testing, Speech Audiometry, Immittance Testing, and Otoacoustic Emission Testing, when indicated.
