At Krish Speech & Hearing Clinic, we believe that healthy hearing is crucial for maintaining a high quality of life and cognition of the brain. Whether you’re experiencing hearing difficulties, need a routine check-up, or are concerned about a loved one’s hearing, our comprehensive hearing tests are designed to accurately assess your auditory health and provide you with the best solutions.
The following tests may be used to diagnose your hearing issue:
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)
A crucial diagnostic tool measuring hearing sensitivity for speech frequencies, pivotal for diagnosing individuals aged 5 and above.
Free Field Audiometry (FFA)
Specifically designed for children under 5, this assessment delivers sounds through loudspeakers for precise evaluation.
Ear Examination
An ear examination in a hearing clinic includes using an otoscope, a lighted magnifying tool, to inspect the ear canal and eardrum for issues like earwax buildup, infections, or structural problems, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Special Test (SISI & TDT)
SISI (Short Increment Sensitivity Index) evaluates the ability to detect minor changes in loudness, indicating cochlear issues. TDT (Tone Decay Test) assesses the auditory nerve’s response to sustained sounds, identifying retrocochlear disorders.
Impedance Audiometry
Evaluates middle ear health and reflex pathways, providing detailed insights for comprehensive hearing evaluation and diagnosis.
