People often have many questions about their hearing and hearing health, but they aren’t always sure where to start or who to trust. A diagnostic hearing evaluation can provide answers to many of these questions quickly and painlessly, so when these questions arise the best first step is to have a diagnostic hearing test with a licensed audiologist. We strive to make this process as low-stress as possible for our patients by explaining each step along the way. We welcome you to bring a trusted loved one, if you prefer a second set of ears.

Read below to learn more about what diagnostic hearing evaluations are like for both adults and children.

Hearing Tests

Our hearing evaluations involve a complete, non-invasive assessment of your hearing using state-of-the-art equipment. Our tests are designed to assess the degree of hearing loss so we can give you the best possible care.

We'll begin by asking you questions about your medical history. Then, we will inspect your ear canal and eardrum using an otoscope. This procedure is painless and noninvasive. We perform the examination to rule out any possibility of physical ear abnormalities that may lead to hearing loss.

Following these two steps, we will administer the hearing tests which are described below.

Pediatric Hearing Tests

Hearing loss can significantly impact a child’s life. Here at Dirigo Hearing Center, we believe in helping families take a positive approach to managing their child’s hearing loss. Our pediatric hearing tests are used to evaluate the hearing abilities of infants and children. There are various types of hearing tests that can be performed depending on the age and developmental level of the child.

This test is used for children between 2 and 5 years of age. The child is taught to perform a play activity, such as placing a block in a bucket, in response to sound stimuli.

It is important for parents and caregivers to have their child's hearing tested regularly, as early identification and intervention can greatly improve a child's language and cognitive development. Contact us to have your child’s hearing tested.
