What You Should Know About Hearing Tests and Hearing Aid Fittings
- posted: Apr. 08, 2019
Good hearing is a precious thing. It can help you be more alert, productive, and receptive to the world around you. If your hearing ability 
has declined, you might need to have your ears tested to see if you should be wearing a hearing aid. Dr. Paul Burk at Ear Nose Throat St Peters Balloon Sinuplasty in St. Peters, MO, St. Louis, MO, and Bridgeton, MO, can see you for the necessary tests and a hearing aid fitting.
About Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can happen to anyone at any age, from newborns to seniors. Babies are sometimes born with hearing problems, while older adults can develop issues due to inner or middle ear damage, infections, illnesses, or aging. Some cases of hearing loss happen slowly over a period of months or years, while some people experience a sudden loss of hearing from a specific event. In some cases, it is temporary, but in cases of permanent hearing loss, all modern treatments must be explored.
Hearing Testing
A hearing test conducted by your ENT will determine if you may need treatment or assistance with your hearing. The test is called an audiometry exam and is very easy to administer. You’ll wear headphones while Dr. Burk gives you instructions. This test will help him determine what kind of hearing loss you’ve experienced (conductive, sensorineural, central nervous system, or a mix of issues). Additional tests may be administered to get more conclusive results.
Hearing Aid Fittings
If your hearing level is below normal, a hearing aid may be the best solution. It’s a device that amplifies common sounds that you hear every day, including conversations, the television, and music. You’ll visit Dr. Burk to review the range of modern hearing aid technology, including devices that fit completely inside of the canal, behind the hear, or halfway in the ear. The type of device you choose will likely depend on your lifestyle needs—for instance, are you concerned about the visibility of the hearing aid? After being fitted for various devices, you’ll find one that is most comfortable for the unique shape of your ear.
