A routine hearing test done in our office involves listening to some tones as well as some words. The objective is to find out the quietest volume level that you can hear tones and words at. The test takes place in a sound-proof room, takes around 30 minutes to complete and is detailed enough to determine if hearing aids are in order or not. You don’t need to go to a hospital for this test, rather you can book the appointment yourself with a hearing healthcare provider. Some hearing healthcare providers will even provide you with a free coffee while they explain the results and their effects on your hearing!
