3. When you arrive for your exam, you will be greeted by the front office staff and asked to fill out several forms, including those that record your personal information, medical history and verify your insurance.

4. As your exam begins, your audiologist will review your personal information with you and will ask you some questions that are designed to discover the specific types of environments in which you may be experiencing some difficulty in hearing.

5. Next, the audiologist may look into your ears by using an otoscope. This instrument is used to see the ear canal and the ear drum and whether or not there is ear wax obstructing the canal.

6. The first test that is conducted is the pure tone hearing test. This is conducted in a quiet environment, sometimes in a soundproof booth.

7. Next is speech testing, when you will listen to a series of one and two syllable words at different volumes and be asked to repeat them.

8. The results of your tests will be recorded on a form called an audiogram, which the audiologist will review with you. The audiogram reflects your hearing loss in frequencies and decibels.

9. The next step is to consider treatment solutions.
