Hearing tests are usually conducted in a soundproof room using specialized equipment. The process involves several steps: 1. Patient History: Collecting information about the individual's medical history and potential exposure to risk factors. 2. Visual Examination: Inspecting the ears for any physical abnormalities. 3. Audiometric Testing: Using devices to measure hearing sensitivity and the ability to understand speech. 4. Interpretation: Analyzing the results to identify the type and degree of hearing loss.
