Hearing Test: Audiogram to Determine the Level of Hearing Loss
A hearing test, also called an audiogram, helps measure how well you hear different sounds and speech. Dr. Ervin Dyrmishi uses hearing evaluation to understand the type and level of hearing loss and recommend the right next step.
What Is a Hearing Test?
A hearing test is a diagnostic evaluation that measures your ability to hear sounds at different volumes and frequencies. It helps determine whether hearing loss is present, how severe it is, and whether it affects one ear or both ears. An audiogram can help identify different types of hearing loss, including conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss. It may be recommended for adults or children with hearing difficulty, ear pressure, ringing in the ears, repeated ear infections, dizziness, or speech and language concerns.
Is a Hearing Test
RIGHT FOR YOU?
A hearing test may be recommended if you notice difficulty hearing conversations, asking people to repeat themselves, turning the volume up often, or struggling to hear in noisy environments. It is also useful when hearing changes happen suddenly, gradually, or after ear infections, trauma, noise exposure, or aging.
You may be a candidate if you have reduced hearing, ringing in the ears, ear fullness, dizziness, balance concerns, repeated ear infections, or a history of loud noise exposure. Children may also need a hearing test if they have speech delay, learning difficulties, frequent ear fluid, or do not respond clearly to sounds.
The procedure is done to measure the level and type of hearing loss and understand how it may be affecting communication, development, balance, or daily life. The results help guide treatment options such as medication, ear wax removal, monitoring, hearing aids, ear tube evaluation, or further ENT testing.
How it Works
A hearing test is a simple diagnostic procedure that provides detailed information about your hearing ability. The results are shown on an audiogram, which helps Dr. Dyrmishi understand the pattern and severity of hearing loss.
- Symptom review and ear examination — Dr. Dyrmishi reviews your hearing concerns, medical history, ear symptoms, noise exposure, infections, dizziness, or tinnitus, then examines the ears for wax, fluid, infection, or structural concerns.
- Sound and tone testing — During the test, you listen to sounds at different pitches and volumes, usually through headphones. Your responses help determine the softest sounds you can hear in each ear.
- Speech understanding evaluation — You may be asked to repeat words or respond to speech sounds. This helps measure how clearly you understand speech, not just whether you can hear sound.
- Results and treatment planning — The audiogram results are reviewed to identify the type and level of hearing loss. Dr. Dyrmishi will explain what the results mean and recommend treatment, monitoring, or additional testing if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. An audiogram can help show whether hearing loss is conductive, sensorineural, or mixed. Conductive hearing loss often relates to problems in the outer or middle ear, while sensorineural hearing loss usually involves the inner ear or hearing nerve. Understanding the type of hearing loss is important because treatment options can be very different.
Yes. Children may need a hearing test if they have speech delay, frequent ear infections, chronic fluid in the ears, difficulty following instructions, or problems with attention and learning. Even mild hearing loss can affect language development and school performance, so early testing can be very helpful.
If hearing loss is found, Dr. Dyrmishi will explain the level, type, and possible cause. Some cases may be treated medically, especially if the issue is related to wax, infection, fluid, or middle ear problems. Other cases may need monitoring, hearing aids, further testing, or additional ENT evaluation.
This depends on your age, symptoms, work environment, and medical history. You may need testing sooner if you notice sudden hearing changes, ringing in the ears, dizziness, ear fullness, or difficulty understanding speech. Regular hearing checks are especially useful for people exposed to loud noise or those with gradual age-related hearing changes.
