HEARING CLINIC & EVALUATION AT MEDIKERI’S SUPER SPECIALITY ENT CENTRE

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, we offer comprehensive hearing evaluations and diagnostics through our advanced Hearing Clinic. Our team of expert audiologists and ENT specialists is dedicated to early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective management of hearing disorders in patients of all ages.

EVALUATION OVERVIEW

The hearing assessment process begins with a detailed clinical history and symptom analysis, followed by a series of specialized audiological tests. These evaluations help determine the type, degree, and cause of hearing loss, allowing us to formulate a tailored care plan for each patient.

TESTING & DIAGNOSTIC METHODS

Our clinic is equipped with modern diagnostic tools to deliver accurate and detailed hearing evaluations, including:

• Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA): Measures hearing sensitivity across various frequencies

• Speech Audiometry: Assesses clarity and understanding of spoken words

• Impedance Audiometry (Tympanometry): Evaluates middle ear pressure and eardrum mobility

• Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE): Detects cochlear (inner ear) function, particularly useful in infants

• Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA/ABR): Assesses auditory nerve pathways and brainstem response, ideal for non-verbal patients or newborns

These tests are conducted in a soundproof environment to ensure precision and patient comfort.

PATIENT-SPECIFIC APPROACH

Our hearing evaluations are customized to suit different age groups and clinical needs:

• Pediatric Assessments: Child-friendly methods and behavioral audiometry for early hearing screening and developmental monitoring

• Geriatric Evaluations: Focused on age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) and communication challenges in elderly patients

• Occupational & Pre-Employment Screenings: Designed for individuals exposed to noise hazards or requiring baseline auditory assessments

ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS

In addition to hearing loss, our evaluations help identify and assess related conditions such as:

• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

• Vertigo and balance disorders

• Eustachian tube dysfunction

• Middle ear infections or fluid buildup

These findings are crucial for guiding further medical or surgical interventions, when necessary.

TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on evaluation results, our ENT and audiology team provides individualized treatment guidance, which may include:

• Medical or surgical correction of underlying causes

• Referral for hearing aid trial and fitting

• Tinnitus management and auditory rehabilitation

• Follow-up testing to track progress and outcomes
