While many tests rely on patient responses, there are advanced methods that don\u2019t require any input at all.

These tests use <strong data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1132\">scientific instruments<\/strong> to measure how sound travels through the ear or how the brain reacts to it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1260\">Objective hearing tests are especially useful for:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1428\">\n<li data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1290\">\n<p data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1290\"><strong data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1288\">Infants and toddlers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1331\">\n<p data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1331\"><strong data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1329\">People with developmental delays<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1378\">\n<p data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1378\"><strong data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1376\">Unconscious or non-responsive patients<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1428\">\n<p data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1428\"><strong data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1428\">Cross-checking results of traditional tests<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1433\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1473\">Types of Objective Hearing Tests<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1546\">At <strong data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1491\">Soft Hear<\/strong>, we offer the following objective hearing assessments:<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1573\">1. <strong data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1571\">Tympanometry<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"1761\">This test checks the <strong data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1618\">middle ear function<\/strong>, measuring how the eardrum responds to pressure changes.

A tiny probe placed in the ear canal emits sounds and records the ear\u2019s natural responses. A lack of response can indicate hearing loss.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2003\" data-end=\"2049\">3. <strong data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2047\">Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2353\">Also known as <strong data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2072\">BERA<\/strong> (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry), this test measures how sound signals travel from the ear to the brainstem. Electrodes are placed on the scalp to monitor the brain\u2019s electrical activity.
