-
Step 1 : Medical history
A series of questions to get an initial overview of your hearing problems and to detect a specific condition, if necessary. Checking the medical history of hearing loss in your family and your acoustic habits.
-
Step 2 : Ear exam
Your ears will be examined with an otoscope to detect potential lesions on the eardrum or in the ear canal, which may be the cause of your hearing loss.
-
Step 3 : Pure tone audiometry
Your hearing ability will be analyzed through a series of so-called “pure” sounds. You will be equipped with a headset or earphones.
-
Step 4 : Tone test
An analysis of your hearing thresholds – that is, the lowest tones that you can hear. This exam lets the audiologist identify any loss of hearing acuity and determine its intensity as well as its nature.
-
Step 5 : Impedance audiometry
To check for potential disorders in the middle ear cavity, your ability to perceive pure sounds is measured with a transmitter placed behind the ear.
-
Step 6 : Speech audiometry
An assessment of your ability to understand speech, expressed as a percentage. This test lets us determine whether there is any deficiency in the auditory nerve, which plays a crucial role: it ensures the transmission of the signals perceived by the ear to the brain.
-
Step 7 : Tympanometry
This portion of the hearing test aims to examine the mobility of the eardrum and the aeration of the middle ear.
*Following these steps, the audiologist will be able to make a detailed diagnosis if you’re suffering from hearing impairment and will recommend solutions tailored to your needs.
