At Southern ENT Associates: Precision Hearing Assessments by Expert Audiologists

Recognizing the vital role of hearing in your overall health, Southern ENT Associates is committed to providing meticulous hearing assessments. Our board-certified audiologists, skilled in a broad range of auditory healthcare, specialize in identifying and managing hearing loss and associated conditions. Through a series of sophisticated tests, they accurately assess the type and degree of hearing loss, employing advanced diagnostic technologies. These comprehensive evaluations are essential in devising effective treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs.
We understand the importance of a thorough hearing analysis to identify the root causes of hearing loss. Our evaluations, carried out by our highly experienced audiologists, aim to pinpoint any hearing impairments. This careful approach ensures that we can provide the most effective solutions for your hearing health.

Comprehensive Hearing Evaluations for All Ages

Southern ENT Associates is dedicated to conducting thorough, non-invasive hearing tests for patients from newborns to seniors. Our goal is to identify any level of hearing loss and guide our patients toward practical solutions for enhancement or adaptation.

  • Pure-Tone Audiometry: This foundational test establishes the softest sounds a person can hear at various frequencies, determining their hearing threshold.
  • Bone Conduction Testing: Crucial for differentiating between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, this test helps locate the source of hearing issues, whether in the outer/middle ear or in the cochlear/nerve areas.
  • Speech Audiometry: By assessing a patient’s ability to hear and understand speech, this test offers valuable insight into the real-world effects of hearing loss.
  • Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR): For a more detailed examination, ABR testing analyzes the neural pathways between the ears and the brainstem, ideal for patients who are unable to undergo standard hearing tests.
  • Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE): An objective measure, OAE testing evaluates the inner ear’s response to sound by detecting emissions, thereby assessing cochlear health.
  • Tympanometry: Focusing on the middle ear, tympanometry examines the eardrum’s reaction to variations in air pressure, which is helpful in identifying issues like fluid retention, eardrum perforations, or obstructions caused by earwax.

At Southern ENT Associates, our array of sophisticated hearing tests ensures a thorough understanding of each patient’s auditory health, laying the foundation for personalized care and effective treatment strategies.
