I am Struggling to hear.
Hearing screening is the process of evaluating your hearing to determine if you have hearing loss or other hearing-related issues. A hearing screening typically involves a series of tests that measure your ability to hear different sounds, pitches, and volumes. The results of a hearing screening can then be used to determine if you have any hearing loss, and to recommend appropriate treatment options.
Hearing screenings are important because they can help to detect hearing loss early on before it becomes more severe. Early detection and treatment can help to prevent further damage to your ears and can improve overall communication and quality of life.
Hearing screenings are typically conducted by a qualified audiologist or other hearing healthcare professional. They are quick and non-invasive and can be done at any age.
There are different types of hearing screenings available, including pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and otoacoustic emissions (OAE) screening.
Pure-tone audiometry measures an individual’s ability to hear different pitches and volumes, while speech audiometry measures an individual’s ability to hear and understand speech. OAE screening measures the outer hair cells of the ear to detect hearing loss.
Hearing screenings are important for individuals of all ages, but they are especially important for people who are at a higher risk of hearing loss. This includes people who are exposed to loud noise, who have a family history of hearing loss, or who have other ear-related issues.
Don’t wait until you have problems hearing to have a hearing screening. Early detection can make a big difference in the outcome of your treatment. Schedule a free hearing screening today with a qualified audiologist and take the first step in protecting your hearing.
