Hearing Tests Explained
Hearing tests can be performed in schools, the workplace, and Doctor’s office or at a special hearing test centre; there are several different hearing tests but they all test hearing or the loss of it to some degree.
The Whispered Speech Test
The person conducting the whispered speech test will ask you to cover the opening of one ear with your finger; they will then stand behind you and will whisper a series of words or a sentence which they will ask you to repeat back to them.
If you are having trouble hearing what they are saying then the words will be said again this time a little louder until you can comfortably hear and are able to repeat back the words. Each of your ears will be tested separately.
The Pure Tone Audiometry Test
For this type of test a machine called an audiometer will be used enabling a series of tones to be played through headphones. These tones will vary in there frequency or hertz and loudness which is measured in decibels.
