Common Hearing
   Loss Tests
The American Speech-
    Language-Hearing
Association, also known as
  ASHA, is a nationwide
 organization focused on
   ensuring citizens are
empowered to make smart
choices regarding auditory
          health.
ASHA is also a
 guiding institution
   for the field of
audiology, supportin
  g speech-langue
pathologies, audiolo
 gists and language
      scientists.
When hearing loss
 professionals compose
tests to determine how
  well your ears detect
      sound, many
     techniques and
  guidelines employed
are influenced by ASHA.
Their website lists a series of
     questions, much like a
checklist, which asks questions
    such as "Do people get
     annoyed because you
misunderstand what they say,"
 "Do you have dizziness, pain,
  or ringing in your ears" and
 "Your child does not respond
         when called."
A high percentage of
    positive answers may
 indicate you or your child
  have ear problems. The
next step should be to find
an audiologist in your area
   and submit to an air or
   bone conduction test.
The air exam focuses on the
  outer and middle parts of
 the ear, using headphones
or a loudspeaker to produce
  a sound. The bone exam
   uses a vibrating device
 placed behind the lobe and
focuses on the inner section
          of the ear.
Results of the hearing loss
   tests are displayed on a
      chart known as an
  audiogram, which uses a
line graph with decibels on
the y-axis and frequency on
          the x-axis.
