2. Examination

Examination starts with a video otoscopy (a camera inserted into the ear) and any wax build up being gently and hygienically removed. Once we have this there are three further functional tests: 

  • A pure-tone audiogram (which is the standard hearing test) 
  • A speech comprehension test in a quiet room 
  • A speech comprehension test in an (artificially) noisy room
