Why is it So Important To Have a Hearing Test Done?
Please answer the following questions below and mark yes or no to them, before we proceed on why you need to have a Hearing Test done;
- Have you asked people to repeat their talks?
- Has your mother told you the music or the television was too loud?
- Have you ever been in a situation where you missed out on vital information, although you were attentive?
If you have marked two or all of the above questions with a YES, its time you took a walk to the nearest specialist and got that hearing test done.
What happens at the hearing test?
The auditory system would be checked thoroughly and the doctor would want to see if sounds are being received by the brain or not. And if there are any noticeable hearing losses which he finds, he would want to know, what forms of hearing loss they would be.
What exactly are we hearing?
- Air vibrations
- Fluid movements
- Element and environmental noises etc
All of the above make waves of sounds and travel at certain heights and speeds. This would also mean that the above said factors would determine the volume and pitch of the sounds we hear. Such sounds would travel through the ear, which then turns into nerve impulses and go on to reach the brains, and that’s when hearing happens.
