HEARING EVALUATIONS
On your first visit, the audiologist will take your case history. This includes talking about your medical history and the hearing problems you have.
Next, the audiologist will look into your ears using a light, called an otoscope. This is to check if there is anything in your ear that will make it hard to test your hearing.
The audiologist will then do different tests to find out the following information:
- If you have a hearing loss
- Why you have a hearing loss
- How bad your hearing loss is in each ear
- What the best treatment options are for you
Your audiologist will go over all of your test results with you. This will tell you about how well you hear and what problems you have. Your audiologist may recommend that you do any of the following things:
- Do more testing or see a doctor to look into some of the problems you have.
- Begin using a hearing aid.
- Get help with hearing at school.
- Try using assistive listening devices.
- Work on hearing skills with an audiologist.
- Have your speech and language tested.
As you can see, a hearing evaluation is much more than “just a hearing test!”

HEARING AIDS
The ears serve a lot more functions than you might realise at first. They are fundamental in assimilating speech, music and sounds, and they are used for orientation and localisation. You only have to close your eyes and concentrate fully on your ears and you’ll soon notice that directional hearing is an invaluable orienting guide.
All in all, unimpaired hearing enriches your life all the time everywhere you go, allowing you a greater range of experiences and above all making you safer. The principle behind the hearing process is as follows:
The concha captures external sounds in the form of sound waves. From there, they are funnelled through the auditory canal to the eardrum. Sound is transmitted via the eardrum to the ossicles in the middle ear (called hammer, anvil and stirrup because of their shapes) and from there to the inner ear. In the inner ear, also called the cochlea from the Greek for snail or screw because of its spiral shape, hair cells convert the sound vibrations into electrical impulses. Auditory nerves carry the impulses to the brain which then identifies the sounds as music, a dog’s bark, rushing water, bells chiming, speech, etc.
A non-binding hearing test with a hearing system specialist can provide you with free and fast information about your personal hearing.

Cochlear Implant
The primary indication for cochlear implant is sever to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids.
For adult postlingually deaf candidates, indication is defined by bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss with no benefit for speech perception with the use of hearing aids. Prelingually deaf adult candidates can qualify for cochlear implants; however, counseling should be integrated to aid the candidates to the realistic expectation for speech perception with cochlear implants.
Children as young as 12 months old with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss are qualified candidates for cochlear implant.
The use of auditory brainstem response (ABR) and otoacoustic emission (OAE) testing will yield objective testing to determine candidacy in young children.
Whether children or adult, the successful outcome of cochlear implants are determined by multiple factors including duration of deafness, cause of deafness, age at first onset of deafness, age at implantation, duration of use of implant, learning ability, dedication and learning support structure, health of cochlea and cooperation of the user to adapt to the implant.
Candidates should also have a support team composed of the surgeon, audiologist, speech therapist and psychologist to work together prior to and following the implantation.
Speech and sound rehabilitation is critical to the successful outcome of sound and speech perception with a cochlear implant; therefore, candidates must be committed to a long term rehabilitation effort.
