Diagnostic Evaluation

Hearing tests are a vital tool for healthcare providers to assess potential hearing loss. Consequently, the various techniques employed during these tests help identify different aspects of hearing health. At Stanford Hearing, we offer a range of comprehensive tests conducted by our expert hearing care providers. 

Common Hearing Tests

Understanding the various types of hearing tests provides insight into the different aspects of your auditory health. These tests serve different purposes, ranging from assessing your overall hearing ability to identifying potential obstructions in your ears.

  • Pure-Tone Hearing Test - Audiometer delivers sounds; responds to indicate hearing.
  • Bone Conduction Testing - Sounds cause skull vibrations, assessing the inner ear.
  • Speech Testing - Repeat words at different sound levels.
  • Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) - Stimulation: Sounds played; the computer records brainwave activity.
  • Otoacoustic Emissions Test (OAE) - Probe measures emitted sounds in inner ear
  • Tympanometry - The probe introduces air; the tympanogram analyzes eardrum movement.
