Tests

Tests

Hearing tests are vital for diagnosing hearing impairments, and they include pure tone audiometry to measure hearing sensitivity, speech audiometry to evaluate speech understanding, tympanometry to assess middle ear function, acoustic reflex testing to gauge middle ear muscle responses, otoacoustic emissions to check cochlear function, auditory brainstem response to examine neural pathways, behavioral observation audiometry for infants, conditioned play audiometry for young children, and central auditory processing disorder testing to evaluate how the brain processes auditory information, all of which guide appropriate treatment and management.
