Hearing Assessment: Your First Step to Better Hearing

Sound is more than just hearing; it’s about living fully, staying connected, and cherishing every moment. Whether you’re experiencing hearing difficulties yourself or concerned about your loved ones, Eartistic is here to help you uncover the answers with comprehensive hearing assessments tailored to your needs.

The Objectives of a Hearing Assessment

At Eartistic, our hearing assessments aim to:
 
1. Identify Your Hearing Status:
  • Detect the side of loss (left, right, or both ears).
  • Determine the type of loss (conductive, sensorineural, or mixed).
  • Measure the degree of hearing loss (mild, moderate, severe, or profound) accurately.
  • Assess loudness tolerance (upon request).
2. Provide Appropriate Management:
  • We offer personalized solutions not only to patients but also provide guidance to family members and teachers for children.
3. Counsel on Hearing Devices:
If beneficial, we provide recommendations on:
  • Hearing Aids
  • Bone Conduction Hearing Aids
  • Cochlear Implants
  • Assistive Listening Devices

What Methods Do We Use for Hearing Assessments?

Birth to Adult

  • AABR (Automated Auditory Brainstem Response) and AOAE (Automated Otoacoustic Emissions) for early screening.
  • Diagnostic OAE and Diagnostic ABR for in-depth analysis.

4 Months – 2.5 Years Old

Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) – Testing hearing response through visual cues when the child turns toward sound.

2.5 – 6 Years Old

Play Audiometry – Child-friendly testing using play-based instructions to measure hearing ability.

6 Years Old to Adults

Pure Tone Audiometry – Standard testing to identify the softest sounds heard at different frequencies

Our Hearing Assessment Services

Hearing Screening

Divided into objective (computer-based) and subjective (requiring patient participation) assessments. The method depends on age, instruction comprehension, and environmental sound levels.

Diagnostic Audiometry

Conducted when screening results are unclear, providing detailed insight into the exact nature and degree of hearing loss.

Aided Hearing Assessment

This assessment checks the softest sounds a patient can hear with hearing aids or cochlear implants, using sound field speakers instead of headphones.

Newborn Hearing Screening

With 50% of children born with hearing impairment coming from families with no history of hearing loss, this screening is critical for all newborns to ensure timely intervention.

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)

Conducted in a relaxed or sleeping state, ABR measures the hearing nerve’s response to sound, offering deeper insights into hearing issues.

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)

OAE assesses the outer hair cell function, helping to pinpoint areas of damage within the ear.
