Signs of hearing issues can vary. Common indicators include difficulty following conversations, frequently asking for repetition, and struggling to understand speech in noisy environments. For children, additional signs may include not responding to their name or delayed speech development. If you notice these symptoms, it’s advisable to consult an audiologist for a professional assessment.

A vestibular assessment evaluates balance and spatial orientation, which are crucial for everyday activities. It helps diagnose conditions affecting the vestibular system, such as vertigo or balance disorders. Accurate diagnosis through these assessments allows for targeted treatments that can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of falls, especially in older adults.

During a hearing assessment, you will undergo a series of tests designed to evaluate your hearing ability. This may include pure-tone audiometry, speech testing, and tympanometry. The audiologist will discuss your medical history and symptoms, ensuring a thorough understanding of your hearing health. The entire process typically takes about an hour.

It is recommended to have your hearing checked every one to two years, particularly for individuals over 50 or those with risk factors for hearing loss.
