A GOOD Hearing Test: What You Should
Expect
                              Everyone has the right to be
                              treated with dignity and
                              compassion, and be informed
                              when having a hearing test. Here
                              is what a GOOD hearing test
includes and what you should expect:

1. First, a licensed hearing aid dispenser or audiologist will
conduct a complete case history including a thorough lifestyle
assessment to determine when and where you need to hear
better.

2. Next, your ear canals are inspected for wax and any unusual
conditions.

3. A Speech Discrimination Test is then given to find out how well
you currently understand speech. This testing can be done in
both quiet and noise.

4. Puretone testing then measures your hearing ability across the
full spectrum of sound. Over one-third of hearing tests conducted
fall within the normal range and require no further testing.

5. However, if further testing is needed, a bone conduction test is
done to rule out any medical problems with your ears. Most
losses are indicative of “nerve loss”, and cannot be corrected
surgically or with medicine. The next step, then, is to determine if
hearing instruments will help.

6. A comprehensive series of speech tests should be done to
determine how much hearing aids will help. Your sensitivity to

loudness should also be measured because this information is
needed to determine the best type of circuit or technology for
your unique hearing loss.

7. A better-than-good hearing test would also include a “Speech-
In-Noise” test to determine your ability to process speech in the
presence of noise.

8. So that you understand your test results, the person
conducting the test should take the time to explain your hearing
loss to you in an easy to understand way. Be sure to ask any
questions you have. After all, this is your hearing loss and it
affects your life. You need to be informed.

9. After testing is completed, you will receive a written copy of
your test results to keep with your medical records.

10. Now, if you choose to get help, your audiologist or dispenser
will recommend a fitting for you and your lifestyle needs. They
should also talk with you and your family about realistic
expectations. Hearing aids help a lot but can only enhance the
part of your hearing that is left over.
