HEARING TEST
Beginning with a conversation to ensure your comfort and understand your goals for hearing well in your lifestyle. Then an inspection of the ear canal followed by an air test, how well you hear tones through the aid, bone test, how well your cochlea is perceiving tones, and a speech discrimination test, how well you understand the vowel and consonant combination. All results of the test are reviewed fully.
