THE COMPLETE AUDIOMETRIC EXAMINATION FOR EQUIPMENT
Before recommending a specific hearing aid, each patient will be evaluated during a complete audiometric examination for fitting. This step allows the hearing aid specialist to analyze the patient's needs and to recommend a solution adapted to their reality.
The audiometric examination consists of evaluating a person's hearing. It takes place in a soundproof booth in which the audioprosthesist will make the patient hear pure sounds of varying intensity and frequency from 125 to 8000 hertz. The patient will have to press a button as soon as they perceive a sound, however weak it may be.
HOW DOES A HEARING TEST WORK?
Audiometry is used to determine the level of hearing loss:
LIGHT,
if the loss is between 20 and 40 decibels.
MODERATE,
if the loss is between 40 and 70 decibels.
SEVERE,
if the loss is between 70 and 90 decibels.
DEEP,
if the loss is greater than 90 decibels.
TOTAL,
if no hearing is measurable.
ANNUAL FOLLOW-UP
After getting a hearing aid, an annual follow-up is necessary. This follow-up allows us to validate the hearing health and to ensure that the product is still suitable for the patient's degree of hearing loss.
Depending on the needs expressed, several assistive listening devices can be used to enhance and secure the patient's environment.
