V - Listen Speech & Hearing Clinic performs multiple tests as part of a comprehensive hearing evaluation. The methods used vary based on the age of the person, the environment, and the purpose of the test. A WWMG comprehensive hearing evaluation is a non-invasive hearing test that is performed by an Audiologist. If you schedule a comprehensive hearing evaluation at WWMG, here’s what you can expect. One of our experienced Audiologists will begin by inspecting your eardrums with an Otoscope. Next, you will put on a pair of earphones in a soundproof test booth, where you will listen and respond to a series of sounds of descending volume. At times you will be given prompts to raise your hand, push a button, or repeat what you heard through the earphones. Your hearing thresholds for each pitch and ear are recorded throughout the test on a graph called an audiogram. In addition to this test, your audiologist may recommend further testing to gauge the health of your middle ear and inner ear function. During this test, the patient is asked to repeat a list of known words presented at different volumes. The test determines the lowest volume at which speech can be heard and recognized. In conjunction with pure tone audiological evaluation, it validates the patient’s hearing threshold.
