Diagnostic assessment is available for infants, children, teens and adults.We take a comprehensive approach to testing in order to get the most accurate results so we can better counsel you on the best solution, if any is needed. The audiometric evaluation consists of testing with both speech and pure tones. Testing with pure tones is performed to determine the amount of hearing loss at different volumes. More importantly, speech discrimination scores are obtained to estimate the loss of hearing pertaining to clarity of word recognition ability of the ear.
