Occupational Hearing Loss


Diagnosis & Tests

How is the condition diagnosed?

Diagnosis of occupational hearing loss begins with a medical history and physical exam. The healthcare provider may order the following tests:

  • an otoacoustic emissions test, which measures how well the hair cells are working
  • a standard hearing test
  • an X-ray of the head or a cranial CT scan to detect underlying problems
