Career: Hearing Testing

Hearing testing refers to a variety of evaluations used to assess a person's ability to hear different sounds, pitches, or frequencies. These tests are typically conducted by audiologists or hearing specialists and can help identify hearing loss, its type, and its severity. Common hearing tests include pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and tympanometry. The results help guide recommendations for treatment, such as hearing aids, medical intervention, or further diagnostics.
