- Basic hearing testing - Comprehensive Audiologic Evaluation: to determine type and degree of hearing loss in each ear. Advanced diagnostic procedures for the purpose of quantifying hearing loss in that population who cannot participate in a basic hearing test. This population includes:
- Babies from birth to childhood
- Developmentally delayed children and adults
- Patients with functional hearing loss
- Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) in babies, adults or children either in natural sleep or under general anesthesia. This test is a physiological evaluation of the hearing pathways and can be used to assess hearing in newborns and infants, or children who are developmentally delayed and cannot participate in standard hearing evaluation.
- Otoacoustic emission testing - to evaluate cochlear (inner ear) functioning.
- Tympanometry - to assess middle ear functioning, usually to assist in the diagnosis of middle ear pathology such as otitis media or otosclerosis.
- Play audiometry - used to assess children's hearing from ages 3 and older.
- Visual response audiometry - to assess hearing in children prior to the age of 3 years.
- Hearing aid dispensing - UCLA dispenses hearing aids from a variety of manufacturers. The audiologists do not receive sales commissions on hearing aids.
- Aural rehabilitation - for patients who have hearing loss or cochlear implants and need training on listening skills to improve communication abilities.
