Hearing Loss Assessment and Treatment

Hearing loss assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted to determine the extent and nature of hearing impairment. This assessment typically involves a series of tests and examinations to identify the cause and severity of hearing loss. During the process, patients may undergo pure-tone audiometry, which measures the ability to hear various pitches and volumes, and speech audiometry, which assesses the ability to understand spoken words. Additional tests might include tympanometry to evaluate middle ear function and otoacoustic emissions to check the health of the inner ear.  Dr. Sakshi Chawla, an expert ENT specialist, provides thorough hearing loss assessment and treatment to address a range of auditory issues. Her evaluation process includes detailed tests such as pure-tone audiometry and speech audiometry to measure hearing sensitivity and speech understanding. She may also perform tympanometry and otoacoustic emissions testing to assess the function of the middle ear and inner ear. Based on the results, Dr. Chawla diagnoses the type and severity of hearing loss, whether it is conductive, sensorineural, or mixed.

Treatment options are tailored to each patient’s needs and may include hearing aids, medical management, or surgical interventions if necessary. Dr. Chawla’s approach ensures a comprehensive plan that aims to improve hearing function and overall quality of life through personalized and effective solutions.
