Headphones are required and we recommend completing the screening in a quiet location. A variety of tones are played through the headphones while you answer queries about each sound. The screening is then repeated in your other ear.<\/p>\n<p>The results of your online hearing screening are separated out by ear and indicate where your hearing ability falls on a spectrum from good to poor. This information can be used by your hearing healthcare provider to order a comprehensive hearing evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive audiology evaluation is completed in the office and consists of a series of individual diagnostic tests that measure different aspects of your hearing. Following a physical examination and a review of your medical history, you will be given any or all of the following tests:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"nice-numbers\">\n<li>Pure tone air conduction testing<\/li>\n<li>Pure tone bone conduction testing<\/li>\n<li>Speech testing<\/li>\n<li>Tympanometry<\/li>\n<li>Acoustic reflex testing<\/li>\n<li>Otoacoustic emissions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once your type, degree and hearing configuration has been determined, a treatment plan can be customized to fit your hearing lifestyle needs.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shoeboxonline.com\/sfaudiology\/?refSource=SecondaryPage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Online Hearing Screening<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/sfaudiology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/online-hearing-versus-in-office-hearing.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5046\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns contain image-left\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/sfaudiology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/online-hearing-screening-results.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5044\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h2>What do I do with my online hearing screening results?<\/h2>\n<p>An online hearing screening can indicate if you may have hearing problems through a series of self-reported questions.

For those under the age of 50, experts recommend visiting your hearing care provider for a hearing exam every 10 years. If you are over the age of 50, you should have your hearing screened every three years.<\/p>\n<p>The sooner you identify a hearing issue, the quicker you can seek treatment and the better the outcome.
