“What does a hearing test evaluate?”

Hello there, A comprehensive hearing test (done by an audiologist for medical purposes) will evaluate various systems in the outer/middle/inner ear. Typically you will first have a tympanogram to measure appropriate movement of the eardrum, then listen for tones and repeat words to evaluate your hearing thresholds as well as your speech understanding capabilities.

A comprehensive hearing test will evaluate your outer, middle, and inner ear. Ear canals, ear drums, responses to pure tones and speech to determine if you have hearing that is within normal limits or if you have hearing loss and which type of hearing loss you have and what may have caused it based on your history and the results.
