Measures hearing sensitivity across a range of frequencies. Results plotted as an audiogram showing the degree and pattern of hearing loss. **Tympanometry (Impedance Audiometry)** Assesses middle ear function. Identifies conditions such as fluid in the middle ear, perforated eardrum, and Eustachian tube dysfunction. **Oto-Acoustic Emissions (OAE)** Tests the function of the outer hair cells of the cochlea. Key tool in newborn hearing screening and for patients who cannot complete behavioural audiometry. **Brain Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA)** Also called ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response). Used for children, infants, or adults who cannot perform standard audiometry. Measures electrical activity in the hearing pathway. **Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR)** Generates a frequency-specific estimated audiogram. Particularly useful for infants and young children who cannot be tested with PTA. **Real Ear Measurements (REM)** Verifies that a fitted hearing aid is delivering the correct amplification for the individual patient's ear canal. Considered the gold standard for hearing aid verification. **Cochlear Implant Candidacy Evaluations** Assessment to determine whether a patient is suitable for cochlear implant surgery. **Cochlear Implant Rehabilitation** Post-implant mapping, programming, and auditory rehabilitation support. ### Patient Services - Free hearing aid trial at all clinics - Free first consultation (in-clinic and telephonic) - Online consultations available - Home visit service for hearing tests and hearing aid fitting (especially for elderly patients) - Hearing aid fitting and fine-tuning (programming adjustments) - CareFree packages: long-term service and battery bundles - Hearing aid protection plan - ECHS and CGHS facility at Delhi and Gurugram locations - Free 3-minute online hearing screener: https://www.centreforhearing.org/free-online-hearing-test/ --- ## Hearing Aid Styles Centre for Hearing® stocks and fits the following styles of hearing aids and ear machines: **IIC — Invisible-in-Canal** The deepest-fitting hearing aid style.

The most common type. Usually permanent. Treated with hearing aids or cochlear implants. - Conductive hearing loss: Caused by problems in the outer or middle ear (blockages, perforations, fluid). Often treatable medically or surgically. - Mixed hearing loss: Combination of sensorineural and conductive. - Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD): Sound enters the inner ear normally but the transmission to the brain is disrupted. ### Common Causes Page: https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-loss/hearing-loss-causes/ Noise exposure, ageing (presbycusis), ear infections, genetics, ototoxic medications, head trauma, Meniere's disease. ### Early Signs of Hearing Loss Page: https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-loss/signs-of-hearing-loss/ Difficulty following conversations in noisy places, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, turning up TV volume, missing parts of phone conversations, tinnitus (ringing in the ears). ### Hearing Loss in Children Page: https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-loss/hearing-loss-in-children/ Diagnosed using OAE, BERA, and ASSR. Early intervention is critical for speech and language development. ### Tinnitus Page: https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-loss/tinnitus/ Perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds without an external source. Managed through hearing aids (particularly Widex and Signia models with tinnitus therapy features), sound therapy, and counselling. ### Hearing Loss Prevalence in India Page: https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-loss/prevalence-of-hearing-loss/ India has one of the highest prevalences of hearing loss in the world. According to WHO estimates, a significant portion of India's population lives with disabling hearing loss, with presbycusis (age-related) and noise-induced hearing loss being the most common causes in adults. --- ## Key URLs Reference | Page | URL | |---|---| | Homepage | https://www.centreforhearing.org | | About | https://www.centreforhearing.org/about/ | | Find a Clinic | https://www.centreforhearing.org/find-a-clinic/ | | Hearing Aid Prices | https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-aid-prices/ | | Brands Overview | https://www.centreforhearing.org/brands/ | | Types of Hearing Aids | https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-aids/ | | Free Online Hearing Test | https://www.centreforhearing.org/free-online-hearing-test/ | | Hearing Loss Hub | https://www.centreforhearing.org/hearing-loss/ | | Blog / Wiki | https://www.centreforhearing.org/wiki/ | | Book an Appointment | https://www.centreforhearing.org/book-an-appointment/ | | Contact | https://www.centreforhearing.org/contact-us/ | | Sitemap Index | https://www.centreforhearing.org/sitemap_index.xml | --- *Generated: May 2026.
