Audiology
ENT Physicians provide state of the art diagnostic hearing and balance testing for all ages, newborn through geriatrics, including immittance testing, otoacoustic emission testing, auditory brainstem response testing, visual reinforced and comprehensive audiometry, Electrocochleography (ECoG), and electronystagmography.
Immittance Testing
Most commonly a tympanogram, reflects eardrum mobility. This test is often ordered to confirm or rule out fluid in the middle ear.
Otoacoustic Emission Testing
Reveals outer hair cell activity. It is commonly used as a screening test on children under three years of age. Present emissions convey a normal pathway from the ear canal to the outer hair cells of the cochlea in the inner ear.
Brainstem Response Testing
In infants tests auditory nerve sensitivity. This test is typically ordered when an infant is referred from a newborn hearing screening. For adults this test can be used to evaluate auditory nerve function.
Visual Reinforced Audiometry
Uses lighted animated characters to positively reinforce awareness of speech and tonal stimuli in the soundfield of a sound booth. This testing is mostly used with small children.
Comprehensive Audiometry
Is the most common hearing test ordered for older children and adults. It encompasses both speech testing as well as testing for threshold responses at different pitches.
