Hearing tests explained.

A comprehensive hearing evaluation takes several different tests into account. Download the guide to find out more about each test.

Otoscopy

Otoscopy refers to “looking in the ears” using a tool called an otoscope. This is a visual check of your ear canal and eardrum.

Tympanometry

Tympanometry measures the health of the middle ear. The result of this test lets the provider know whether your middle ear is healthy, if there is a perforation, or if other medical issues may be present.

Air & bone conduction testing

Air conduction and bone conduction testing determine the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies. The results give your provider a picture of your hearing ability.

Speech testing

Speech testing helps the provider understand how loud speech needs to be so you can hear it and how well you understand speech without visual or contextual cues.

Types of hearing loss.

The results of your exam will show if you have hearing loss as well as the degree and type. There are three types of hearing loss:

Sensorineural

Sensorineural hearing loss involves damage to the inner ear which may be caused by aging, noise exposure, ototoxic medications, and some types of illness. Hearing aids are most often used to treat this type of hearing loss.

Conductive

Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is not being transmitted through the outer or middle ear to the inner ear. Excessive earwax, fluid in the middle ear, or a damaged eardrum are common causes—this type of hearing loss can often be treated medically or surgically.

Mixed

Mixed hearing loss is a combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.
