What happens during a hearing assessment

An audiologist follows a set order so each result builds on the last. This means the final picture of your hearing is based on evidence rather than guesswork.

  1. Case history

    The audiologist asks about your health, any noise exposure at work and when you first noticed a change. This shapes the rest of the session.

  2. Otoscopy

    A small light looks inside the ear canal to check for wax, infection or damage to the eardrum before any sound testing begins.

  3. Pure tone audiometry

    You listen to tones through headphones and press a button each time you hear one. The audiologist maps the quietest sounds you detect at each pitch.

  4. Speech testing

    The audiologist plays recorded words at different volumes to see how clearly you understand speech in quiet conditions. This rules out problems that pure tone tests miss, because someone can hear a beep but still struggle to follow a conversation.

  5. Tympanometry

    A soft puff of air checks how the eardrum moves. Stiffness here points to fluid or pressure problems behind the drum.

If results conflict, the audiologist may repeat specific tests or refer you for further investigation.
