Hearing Assessment An audiologist will perform an audiogram to detect any hearing problem. The audiogram will help evaluate the executive’s overall ability to perceive and process specific sounds. Accordingly, the audiologist would make recommendations to help preserve hearing and/or suggest sound amplification. Hearing loss is often gradual, as such many people often do not notice it until it becomes serious. If any hearing problems are detected, you may be referred to one of our ear, nose, and throat specialists.
