Hearing Test
A hearing test, or audiometric test, is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates an individual's ability to perceive different sounds and determines the type, degree, and specifics of hearing loss.
A typical hearing test at Essence Audiology usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the individual's needs.
No, the hearing test is a non-invasive and painless procedure. You'll be asked to respond to a series of tones and sounds played through headphones. At no point should you experience discomfort or pain. If you do feel any unease, it's essential to inform the audiologist immediately.
It's recommended to have a hearing test every few years or sooner if you notice any changes in your hearing or are exposed to loud noises regularly.
