What to Expect

Here's what happens during your visit, so you can come prepared and feel at ease.

Your hearing evaluation includes a thorough case history, otoscopic examination, and comprehensive audiological testing. Our audiologist performs pure-tone audiometry, speech recognition testing, tympanometry, and otoacoustic emissions as indicated. Your ENT physician reviews results alongside the physical examination findings to determine whether your hearing loss is conductive, sensorineural, or mixed. Treatment recommendations are tailored to the diagnosis and may range from medical management and wax removal to surgical intervention or amplification. For tinnitus patients, we focus on identifying and treating any underlying condition contributing to the ringing.

When to See a Doctor

Seek prompt evaluation if you experience sudden hearing loss (a medical emergency requiring treatment within days), asymmetrical hearing, pulsatile tinnitus (heartbeat-like sound), hearing loss accompanied by dizziness, or ear fullness and pressure. An ENT specialist can determine if your hearing loss has a treatable medical cause before considering hearing aids. Search for an ENT doctor near me in Massachusetts to get a comprehensive evaluation rather than going directly to a hearing aid dispenser.
