Hearing

---

Hearing  loss can occur at any age. If you have concerns about your or your  family member's hearing, schedule an appointment with our Audiologist.  At this appointment, we will review relevant medical history, perform an  otoscopic examination of your ears, and complete a hearing evaluation  in a sound-proof booth.

No child is too young for a hearing evaluation. Early detection and intervention are essential to achieving full potential. Crossroads Audiologists employ a variety of evidence-based testing techniques as appropriate for individuals as young as 6 months. 

A hearing evaluation may include:

• Otoscopy
   
• Tympanometry
   
• Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA)
   
• Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA)
   
• Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)
   
• Conventional hearing testing
   

 A hearing evaluation will assess your sensitivity to sound and your ability to detect and understand speech. 

A hearing evaluation may include:

• pure tone air conduction testing
   
• speech recognition testing
   
• word discrimination testing
   
• pure tone bone conduction testing
   
• Tympanometry
