What to Expect from Your First Appointment
Hearing Tests
1) Expect to talk about your medical history and hearing history: We need to know if you’re taking any medications that could alter your hearing. If you are taking a hearing test for a specific reason – for example, you have developed symptoms of hearing loss and wish to have this checked out – then you can explain these reasons to your audiologist. However, even if you are taking the test primarily as a screening of your hearing health, your audiologist will still ask about your hearing health and lifestyle factors – particularly in relation to the level of noise you are exposed to regularly – that may influence this.
2) Pure tone test: Your audiologist will then intermittently play sounds at different pitches and frequencies through the earphones. All you have to do is acknowledge when you hear the tone, either by raising a hand or pressing a button. They may also do a speech test, which will involve listening to speech (this may be recorded or words spoken live by your audiologist) and then repeating back the words that you can understand.
3) Review of your test results: Your audiologist will determine, based on your results, if a follow-up is needed, more tests, a referral or just a review at a later time.
