Hearing loss is a medical condition that often interferes with people’s ability to live normal, enjoyable lives. This frustrating condition should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Hearing loss can lead to anger and depression if left untreated and will almost certainly get worse.
Our patients often find that solutions to hearing problems are quick and easy. The first basic steps toward better hearing health begin with a visit for a hearing test.
Here are the hearing services available at Hearing Solutions of Louisiana:
-
Diagnostic Audiologic Evaluation
The diagnostic audiologic evaluation is a thorough set of tests used to determine the exact type and extent of hearing loss. Among the tests that might be used (after a basic hearing test) are bone conduction testing, verbal testing and tympanometry, or eardrum, testing.

Evaluation for Hearing Aids
The results of hearing tests might mean a recommendation for hearing aids. Every hearing loss is a unique condition to the individual, so it is important that an audiologist diagnoses and treats your loss. While seeming intimidating at first, our experience is that the vast majority of people receiving hearing aids become acclimated to them very quickly.
