The document discusses what to expect during a hearing test. A hearing test is quick, simple, and painless. It involves sitting in a soundproof booth wearing headphones connected to an audiometer, which plays sounds at different frequencies and volumes in each ear separately. The patient indicates when they hear each sound, and the specialist maps the results on an audiogram to determine if hearing loss is present and recommend remedies like hearing devices.
