This test evaluates your ability to hear and understand speech. It includes speech recognition and word discrimination tests, which are crucial for assessing the practical impact of hearing loss on communication.

Tympanometry assesses the function of the middle ear by measuring the movement of the eardrum in response to changes in air pressure. This test helps diagnose middle ear problems such as fluid behind the eardrum, ear infections, and eustachian tube dysfunction.

ABR/BERA tests measure the electrical activity in the auditory nerve and brainstem in response to sound stimuli. Electrodes placed on the head and ears record the responses. This test is essential for diagnosing hearing loss in newborns, infants, and individuals who cannot respond to traditional hearing tests.

VEMP tests assess the function of the saccule and the inferior vestibular nerve, which are part of the balance system in the inner ear. This test involves measuring the reflexes of neck or eye muscles in response to sound stimuli. VEMP is useful for diagnosing balance disorders and certain types of vertigo.

ENG is a series of tests that evaluate the function of the vestibular system (balance system) in the inner ear and its connection to the eye movements. The test involves placing electrodes around the eyes to record eye movements in response to various stimuli, helping diagnose balance disorders and dizziness.

ASSR tests measure the brain's electrical response to rapid auditory stimuli. Electrodes placed on the scalp record the responses. This test can assess hearing thresholds in individuals who cannot provide reliable behavioral responses, such as infants and individuals with severe disabilities.

Tinnitus evaluation involves identifying the nature and severity of tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The test includes questionnaires to understand the impact of tinnitus on daily life and sound-matching tests to determine the pitch and loudness of the tinnitus. This information helps in developing a management plan for tinnitus relief.

Vertigo tests evaluate the cause of dizziness and balance issues. These tests may include VEMP, ENG, and other assessments to determine the function of the vestibular system and identify any abnormalities that could be causing vertigo.

OAE tests assess the function of the cochlea (inner ear) by measuring the sounds produced by the hair cells in response to an auditory stimulus. A small probe placed in the ear canal records these sounds. OAE is commonly used for newborn hearing screening and diagnosing hearing loss in children and adults.
