The general guideline is to test the auditory level of the patient using different screening tests.
Hearing loss can be caused due to a neuronal problem called neurosensory or may be due to the conduction of sound waves called conductive hearing loss. Hearing aids are usually prescribed for patients with conductive hearing loss.
Initially, a physical examination is done to check for swelling or ear wax in the ear. Then a tuning fork teat is done to measure the auditory levels.
Nowadays application-based tests are also available to measure the decibel volume of sound heard by patients. Audiometer tests can also be performed.
