If a hearing loss is suspected, then you should see an Audiologist. A hearing test consists of responding when you hear different frequencies presented at different volume levels. This test will produce a profile of your hearing, called an audiogram. The Audiologist will use the audiogram to determine the type and severity of your hearing loss. The Audiologist will also assess the outer and middle ear and determine whether the hearing loss is best treated medically or with hearing aids.
It is recommended that people over fifty years of age get their hearing checked regularly.
