What Is A Hearing Test

A hearing test is a diagnostic test that measures the sensitivity of your hearing. It is conducted by an audiologist, a healthcare professional who specialises in hearing and balance.

There are different types of hearing tests, but the most common type is called pure tone audiometry. This test will identify the softest sounds that you can hear at different frequencies.

The frequencies that are tested are those most commonly used in speech.

During a hearing test, you will wear calibrated headphones. The audiologist will play a series of tones at different frequencies and volumes. You will be asked to press a button when you hear a sound to signal you have heard it.

The audiologist will use your responses to create an audiogram and asses your hearing loss if any.
