Cross Timbers ENT offers the following hearing tests:

• Audiometry: This type of test evaluates your ability to hear sounds. During this assessment, different sounds are emitted at various volumes and tones (vibrations). We'll record whether you are able to detect the sounds and evaluate how well the auditory nerve is functioning. 
• Tympanometry: This exam reviews the condition of the middle ear by creating different levels of air pressure inside the ear canal. It allows us to identify inflammation, infection, or whether there is negative pressure or abnormal fluid present beneath the ear drum.
• Otoacoustic Emissions: The OAE test is used to find out how well your inner ear works. The inner ear has sensory hair cells that vibrate with auditory stimulation. An OAE measures the vibrations that are sent out from these cells to assess the hearing response of the cochlea.

Following your hearing test, our team will evaluate your results and provide a thorough diagnosis. If hearing loss has been detected, a customized treatment plan will be created to help treat the cause and improve your hearing. Follow-up appointments may also be scheduled as part of your treatment plan at Cross Timbers ENT.

If you're experiencing trouble hearing and having a hard time communicating with others due to this impairment, it may be time to meet with an ENT specialist.
