Hearing Testing Hearing Health Care provides hearing testing to individuals of all ages, from 3 years old to those over one hundred years old. The testing technique varies as a function of age, but audiologists aim to obtain information regarding an individuals ability to hear both tones and words in each ear to better determine an individuals hearing sensitivity. Hearing Aid Evaluation A thorough case history is taken before the hearing evaluation begins. At that time, patient complaints, concerns and questions are assessed regarding difficulties with communication. After the hearing evaluations, the results are discussed with the patient. If testing reveals a sensorineural hearing loss, a hearing aid may be recommended for one or both ears. It is important to remember hearing loss may affect individuals differently. There are certain degrees of hearing loss: mild, moderate, moderately-severe, severe, and profound. The size of the hearing aid depends on the severity of the hearing loss.
