Hearing test (audiometry)

A test that measures the softest sounds you can hear across different pitches, mapping the type and degree of hearing loss.

When this is typically needed

  • Difficulty hearing in conversations
  • Family history of hearing loss
  • Routine hearing check

What it involves

You listen to tones through headphones in a quiet booth and indicate what you hear — painless and takes about 30 minutes.

What to expect

Results are available immediately and directly guide whether a hearing aid or further evaluation is needed.
