At ENT New York, we offer comprehensive hearing evaluations to assess auditory function and detect any underlying conditions affecting your ears. Whether you’re experiencing difficulty hearing conversations, frequent ringing in the ears, or sudden hearing loss, a hearing evaluation is a crucial first step in identifying the cause and exploring effective treatment options.
Our evaluations are conducted in a soundproof booth using state-of-the-art audiometric equipment. This controlled environment allows us to accurately measure your hearing across various frequencies and determine how well you perceive sounds and speech. The results help guide the next steps—whether that's medical treatment, hearing protection strategies, or referrals for advanced hearing devices.
Hearing loss can occur gradually or suddenly and may result from a variety of conditions, including chronic ear infections, noise exposure, impacted earwax, or age-related changes. By conducting a detailed evaluation, we’re able to distinguish between conductive hearing loss (related to the outer or middle ear) and sensorineural hearing loss (related to the inner ear or auditory nerve), which is essential for delivering proper care.
At ENT New York, Dr. Vandana Kumra combines over 15 years of clinical experience with a patient-centered approach. She’ll take the time to listen to your concerns, explain the findings, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your lifestyle and goals.
If you’re noticing signs of hearing loss—such as turning up the volume frequently, asking others to repeat themselves, or struggling to follow conversations in noisy settings—don’t wait. Early diagnosis and intervention can make a significant difference in your quality of life.
