What is a hearing test? A hearing test is a way for doctors to check your ears. It’s not just about how well you can hear but also how well your brain processes sound. Audiologists use it to make sure that everything is functioning properly and that there are no problems with the way you hear things.
The older people get, the more likely that hearing will be compromised. Hearing loss is now present in about 14% of people between 45 and 64 years old but can reach up to 30% for those over 65-years-old. That’s why it’s wise to get your hearing tested every few years. Experts recommend that adults get their hearing tested every 10 years until age 50 and then once a year after that.
