Diagnosis of Age-Related Hearing Loss
If you have symptoms of age-related hearing loss, see your doctor to diagnose your condition. They’ll complete a full physical exam to rule out other causes of hearing loss. They may also look inside your ears using an otoscope.
If your doctor can’t find another cause of your symptoms, they may diagnose you with age-related hearing loss. They may refer you to a hearing specialist called an audiologist. The audiologist can perform a hearing test to help determine how much hearing loss has occurred.
