HEARING TESTS

Puretone Audiometry

This is a test to find if a person has a hearing loss and what kind and degree it is.

Tympanometry

This tests if the middle ear and the eardrum are functioning well.

Speech Tests

This helps in evaluating the ability of the person in understanding speech that is heard.

Audiotory Brainstem Response (ABR)

An electrophysiological test that looks directly into the brainstem’s response to sounds.

Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR)

An electrophysiologic response to rapid auditory stimuli. The goal of ASSR is to create an estimated audiogram from which questions regarding hearing, hearing loss, and aural rehabilitation can be answered.

Otoacoustic Emission Testing (OAE)

Another electropysiological test that provides an insight into the integrity of the cochlea.

Behavioral Tests for Children and Infants

Children, especially babies are difficult to evaluate, so special ways of testing them are required. MHA has specially trained personnel to do these test.

Hearing Aid Evaluations

To ensure proper fitting of hearing aids, especially on children, MHA evaluates the functioning of the hearing aid objectively by using a hearing aid analyzer and by doing aided threshold testing and if possible-aided speech perception testing.
