Hearing Check and Full Diagnostic in Yerevan

A person cannot fully perceive the surrounding world if their auditory organs are impaired. Hearing loss can occur at any age due to external or internal factors. However, when a person’s ear is not functioning properly or causing discomfort, most people hesitate to consult an audiologist or an otolaryngologist (ENT doctor). Visiting a medical facility is often postponed until hearing deterioration reaches a critical level. According to specialists in audiology, such negligence by patients towards their health often leads to deafness.

If you experience ear pain or a decline in hearing, the first step should be to schedule an appointment with an audiologist or otolaryngologist. This specialist will help you assess your hearing and, if necessary, conduct a comprehensive diagnosis of your hearing condition.

Comprehensive hearing diagnosis. Hearing treatment by specialists.

At our “AudioSluh” hearing center in Yerevan, you can undergo a diagnosis of your auditory organ. This includes an examination of the ear, as well as the determination of hearing characteristics and the condition of the inner and middle ear using specialized equipment, conducted by audiologists. Based on all collected data and considering factors affecting hearing, the doctor will prescribe appropriate treatment and suggest methods for hearing restoration.

It is important to remember that attempting to self-diagnose and assess the level of hearing is not acceptable.

If hearing loss is irreversible, hearing aids may be needed. Wearing hearing aids is recommended at the first signs of hearing loss. The selection of suitable hearing aids takes into account the individual characteristics of the patient, as well as the recommendations of audiologists and hearing aid specialists. Our specialists are ready to help you choose suitable models of hearing aids using specialized software.

At the “AudioSluh” hearing aid center in Yerevan, we offer a unique extended audiological examination and early diagnosis of hearing problems.

• Tonal threshold audiometry (aims to determine the hearing threshold, i.e., the minimum intensity of sounds a person can hear at different frequencies. The result of the examination is an audiogram, a graphic representation of hearing thresholds.)

• Impedance audiometry: tympanometry + acoustic reflexometry (aims to thoroughly examine the condition of the middle ear, detect information about the presence of chronic diseases, such as middle ear infection, perforation of the eardrum, presence of fluid in the ear canal, disruption of the auditory ossicle chain.)

• Otoacoustic emission (OAE) (aims to obtain information about the condition of the structures of the inner ear in humans, such as outer hair cells of the cochlea, possible level of hearing loss. The methodology includes transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE).)

• Registration of short-latency auditory evoked potentials (SLAEP) (diagnosis and correction of impaired hearing function in infants (SLAEP) – one of the methods of objective audiometry. This method is designed to identify the site of damage to the auditory system in children and adults.)

• ASSR test objective audiometry by recording the brain’s stationary responses to a modulated tone)

Additionally:

• Otoscopy — a simple and painless method of examining the organs of hearing (aims to examine the external ear from the beginning of the ear canal to the eardrum.)

• ETF test (Eustachian Tube Function) – a test of the function or assessment of the auditory tube (conducted when there is suspicion of dysfunction of the auditory (Eustachian) tube. The test includes tympanometry with additional loading tests.)

It should be noted that after conducting a comprehensive examination of children and identifying the need for hearing aids, our center in Yerevan provides a full range of services for hearing restoration in our young patients. The procedure is carried out by an experienced specialist – an audiologist and a hearing aid specialist.

It is also important to inform your doctor about any hearing problems or ear diseases you have had in the past.

• How long does the hearing test procedure take?

  A standard hearing test procedure usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes. The time may vary depending on the complexity of the examination and the need for additional tests.

• What methods are used for hearing diagnostics?

  We use several methods for hearing diagnostics, including audiometry, tympanometry, and otoacoustic emissions. Each of these methods helps us get a complete picture of your hearing health and identify potential problems.

• Is it necessary to undergo a hearing test if there are no obvious problems?

  Regular hearing tests are recommended for everyone, especially for people over 50 or those who work in noisy environments. This helps to detect potential problems at an early stage and prevent further hearing deterioration.

• What should be done if the test results show hearing problems?

  If the test reveals hearing problems, our specialist will offer you the best treatment or correction options. This may include recommendations for using hearing aids, medical therapy, or other methods aimed at improving hearing perception.
