When To Seek the Care of an Audiologist
Outside of regular hearing health maintenance, it is important to make an appointment to see your audiologist as soon as possible if you or a loved one are experiencing:
- New or worsening symptoms of hearing loss
- Unexplained ear pain
- A persistent ringing in the ears – a condition called tinnitus
- Symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, or other balance problems

Hearing Evaluation Tests and Procedures
Your audiologist will always match your treatment plan to your individual lifestyle and goals, but there are a few tests and procedures you will likely undergo during your initial hearing evaluation. These quick, painless tests and procedures help your doctor gain a clear picture of your current hearing ability and develop your treatment plan.
Potential procedures include:
- Otoscopy, when the doctor checks your ear canal for obstructions.
- Pure Tone, a test to measure hearing levels in each ear.
- Speech Discrimination, a test of your ability to hear speech.
- Bone Conduction, a measurement of how your inner ears respond to sound.
- Tympanometry, a test to measure the movement of your eardrums.
