Hearing Testing
Hearing testing at Roja’s Hearing Speech & Multi Rehab Center is a crucial service aimed at assessing the auditory function of individuals of all ages. Whether it’s a routine screening for newborns or a comprehensive evaluation for adults experiencing hearing difficulties, Roja’s employs state-of-the-art equipment and skilled audiologists to ensure accurate and reliable results.
The process begins with a thorough evaluation of the individual’s medical history and any concerns or symptoms related to hearing. This initial assessment helps guide the selection of appropriate testing procedures and informs the audiologist about any potential underlying conditions that may affect the results.
Roja’s offers a variety of hearing tests tailored to the needs of each individual:
Pure-Tone Audiometry: This test measures the softest sounds a person can hear at different frequencies. The individual wears headphones and responds to tones by pressing a button or raising their hand.
Speech Audiometry: Speech testing assesses the individual’s ability to hear and understand speech at different volumes. It may involve repeating words or sentences presented at various levels of loudness.
Tympanometry: This test evaluates the function of the middle ear and the mobility of the eardrum by measuring changes in air pressure in the ear canal.
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) Testing: OAE testing measures the sounds emitted by the inner ear in response to stimuli. It is often used as a screening tool for newborns and young children.
Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Testing: ABR testing measures the electrical activity of the auditory nerve and brainstem in response to sound stimuli. It is particularly useful for assessing hearing in infants and individuals who are unable to participate in behavioral testing.
Following the completion of testing, Roja’s audiologists interpret the results and provide comprehensive feedback to the individual and their caregivers. If hearing loss or other auditory issues are identified, Roja’s offers a range of intervention options, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, auditory rehabilitation, and counseling.
Through their commitment to excellence in hearing testing and intervention, Roja’s Hearing Speech & Multi Rehab Center ensures that individuals receive the highest standard of care to optimize their auditory health and quality of life.
