Hearing Test: What To Expect

The testing we perform involves several components. One of these parts includes finding the softest sounds you can hear (hearing thresholds) across a broad pitch range. We measure the loudness of sound in decibels (dB). In our test battery, we present tones in a variety of frequencies (pitches) at different intensity (volume) levels. Once your softest response levels are determined, we establish these as your hearing thresholds.

In addition to pure tone testing, we also assess your ability to hear speech. Speech testing is assessed in a threshold level task, where we determine the softest level you can discern speech. Speech recognition testing is also performed at a volume loud enough for you to hear and repeat back a series of words.

From your responses, we gain an overall picture of your hearing threshold levels across the range of frequencies that correspond closely to the region in which speech occurs.

Common Hearing Level Classifications (Degree of Hearing Loss)

Normal, –10dB to 25dB
Mild, 26dB to 40dB
Moderate, 41dB to 55dB
Moderately Severe, 56dB to 70dB

Profound, 91dB+
