How Our Hearing Test Works for Senior Care Facilities
Our online hearing test provides accurate, professional results in under 10 minutes. Here's how it works:
Pure Tone Test
This fundamental test measures the faintest sounds a person can hear at different frequencies. It helps to identify early-stage hearing loss or determine if further audiological testing is needed.
Speech Test
The speech test assesses the clarity of hearing, measuring the ability to understand spoken words. This is critical for understanding how well residents can engage in everyday conversations and interactions.
Diagnosis
Once the tests are completed, the results are sent to our patented AI classification system, which analyzes the data and provides a professional diagnosis based on recognized patterns.
Instant Results
Within minutes, the facility receives a professional summary and a downloadable PDF report, which can be shared with healthcare professionals or used to monitor residents’ hearing health over time.
