A hearing screening is a quick test to see how well you hear different sounds. You either pass or fail the screening. If you pass and have no other hearing concerns, then you can continue with regularly scheduled hearing screenings. If you fail, or if you have other concerns about your hearing, then you may need more in-depth testing to see if you have a hearing loss and what treatment options may be right for you.

You should ask your doctor for a hearing screening if you have concerns about your or your child’s hearing.
