Kam Fung Audiological Assessment

Kam Fung Basic Hearing Test

• The auditory system includes the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Damage to any part of the ear can lead to hearing loss. Degree of hearing loss ranges between mild, moderate, moderately-severe, severe and profound. Normal hearing ranges from -10dB to 25dB.
• KAM Hearing Centre provides comprehensive hearing assessment, which includes otoscopic examination, standard pure tone audiometry and tympanometry. Our hearing professionals will provide hearing health suggestions based on the test results and individual’s hearing needs.

Kam Fung Basic Hearing Test Assessment Includes:

1. Otoscopy
   Abnormality such as earwax occlusion and otitis externa will be identified
2. Standard Pure Tone Audiometry
   PTA, a behavioral test to assess one’s hearing sensitivity, degree and type of hearing loss will be diagnosed
3. Tympanometry
   Middle ear problems, such as middle ear effusion and perforated eardrum will be revealed
4. Acoustic Reflex
   Acoustic reflexes measure the stapedius and the tensor tympani reflex generated eardrum movement in response to intense sound. They can be helpful in checking for particular types of hearing loss in situations where patient reliability is questionable.
