Hearing Tests
At Alhabib Center, we prioritize investing in cutting-edge hearing test equipment and technology to ensure comprehensive diagnostic support.
Our thorough hearing assessments go beyond simply determining the softest sounds you can hear. Given the multitude of causes behind hearing loss, we conduct a range of tests including Otoscopy, Tympanometry, Acoustic Reflexes, Otoacoustic Emissions, and Auditory Processing (see more details below). You will receive a detailed Audiogram report after these evaluations.
If you suspect that you or someone you know might be suffering from hearing loss, it's crucial to have it professionally assessed. Contact us today for more information.
Diagnostic Hearing Tests
Audiometry (Tone or Speech) hearing test
Using tones of varying frequencies and volume, this test provides us with an evaluation of your sense of hearing and is carried out in a sound proof booth for the most accurate measurements.
Tympanometry Test.
This test is often carried out in conjunction with audiometry and is used to assess the function of the middle ear. We can also provide ipsi & contralateral reflexes and reflex decay on request.
Brainstem evoked response audiometry hearing test
This test uses electrodes that are placed on the scalp and behind the ears to measure neural responses to brief tones, available in outpatient clinics or theatre for objective tests or reviewing the growth of acoustic neuroma.
Video-otoscopy.
Enables us to view the condition of the outer ear and provides us with a permanent photographic record for future reference.
Otoacoustic emissions (DP, TE and SE) hearing tests for babies.
Used to test the function of the cochlea and other parts of the ear to investigate possible early noise damage and objective tinnitus assessment. Further hearing tests may be needed to determine if there is hearing loss or not.
Listening in Spatialised Noise
Sentences Test (LiSN-S) Developed by the National Acoustics Laboratory this is a virtual-reality hearing test that measures speech perception used for the evaluation of auditory processing disorders.
