Antes de venir a tu prueba auditiva, sería conveniente:
Durante la prueba auditiva, el audioprotesista te hará el examen físico de los oídos con un instrumento llamado otoscópio. El otoscópio es una cámara que permite ver el conducto auditivo y no causa ningún tipo de dolor o molestia.
Está diseñado para detectar posibles obstrucciones o infecciones de oído que puedan estar afectando temporalmente tu capacidad para escuchar correctamente. En muchos casos, el problema no estará relacionado con una pérdida de audición, sino con una acumulación excesiva de cerumen.
A continuación, te pedirán que escuches varios sonidos, generalmente una serie de pitidos configurados en distintas frecuencias, para determinar si tienes problemas para escuchar algún tipo de sonidos. Esta parte de la prueba auditiva se conoce como audiometría.
Luego, te leerán una lista de palabras que tendrás que repetir. Esta parte de la prueba auditiva se conoce como "prueba de voz familiar". Es aquí que se pedirá a tu familiar o amigo para participar en la prueba, para que podamos evaluar tu capacidad para entender una voz que te es familiar.

En qué consiste la prueba auditiva
The results from your hearing evaluation will be shared with you and recorded on an audiogram. The hearing test results will tell us if you have an audible hearing loss or not. Based on the hearing test, your audiologist will provide recommendations on next steps and what hearing care solutions might be right for you.
If the hearing test shows that you have a hearing loss, the audiologist will likely recommend a form of hearing loss treatment. In case the treatment involves hearing aids, you will have the opportunity to see and test different types of hearing aids, depending on your hearing loss and lifestyle needs.
If you decide that you would like to get a hearing aid, a separate appointment will then be booked to fit your hearing aids and help you get used to them.
