Your Hearing Test: What to Expect
During your visit to Peachtree Hearing for a hearing test, we'll guide you into our inviting waiting room where you'll fill out a brief medical history survey and help us get to know you a little better. Our custom audiological evaluation is the most complete and thorough procedure available for evaluating hearing. We take advantage of all of the latest and greatest medical technology and advancements so that we can offer a more advanced approach to hearing health.
Tympanometry: This key procedure in our hearing tests is used to evaluate the health of your middle ear, helping to identify potential ear infections, fluid buildup, or eardrum perforations that might be impacting your hearing.
Acoustic Reflex Threshold Testing: We measure the reflexive contraction of your middle ear muscles in response to loud sounds. This test is a valuable tool in tracing nerve pathways between your auditory and facial nerves, and can assist in identifying conditions such as tumors and neurological problems.
Otoacoustic Emissions Testing: This advanced hearing test identifies faint sounds emitted by the outer hair cells of your cochlea when stimulated by a sound. If these emissions are absent or very soft, it could indicate a hearing loss.
Video-Otoscopic Examination: We use a tiny video camera to inspect your ear canal. You'll have the opportunity to view the inside of your ear on a screen, and we'll guide you through what we find.
Familiar Voice Test: If possible, bring along a spouse or a loved one to your appointment. We'll evaluate your hearing and comprehension using their voice.
Speech Understanding Assessment: We'll assess how well you understand conversational speech in quiet and noisy settings.
Baseline Audiogram: Inside our sound-proof booth, we test your hearing across different frequencies. This process helps us scientifically map your hearing and identify the sounds you're hearing and those you're not.

Test Results
Following the hearing test, our audiologists will discuss your results and suggest the best course of action, if needed. If hearing aids are recommended, we consider your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and budget. At Peachtree Hearing, we offer custom-programmed hearing aids designed to match your specific hearing loss and lifestyle. Often, we can program a pair of hearing aids for you to try in the office, allowing you to immediately experience the difference they can make.
