Details (prREACH) As an initial step in detecting hearing loss, the National Hearing Test is a very good choice.
Developed with funding from the National Institutes of Health, it provides a telephone-based hearing
assessment to screen for functional hearing loss. However, it is vital for all test takers to understand the
limits of phone-based screenings and the advantages of a comprehensive in-office hearing test performed
by an Audiologist. The audiologists at American Hearing & Balance – Marina del Rey are making an effort to
inform others about the National Hearing Test while making themselves available for hearing test
appointments and questions in Marina del Rey and surrounding areas.
The National Hearing Test can be found at nationalhearingtest.org and costs $8. As part of Better Speech
and Hearing Month, the test is free of charge for the month of May 2014. The test screens for one particular
type of hearing problem – the ability to distinguish speech from noise – referred to by audiologists as
functional hearing. At the conclusion of the screening, the system instantly gives a score for each ear. The
possible scores are “Normal”, “Slightly Below Normal” or “Poor”. The directions given after the test lead test

possible scores are “Normal”, “Slightly Below Normal” or “Poor”. The directions given after the test lead test
takers to local audiologists. The ‘After the Test’ page says, “If your results from the National Hearing Test
were “marginal or below normal,” you should make an appointment for a complete hearing evaluation by a
certified hearing professional. Even if your results are in the “normal” range but you still have concerns about
your hearing, we encourage you to seek a complete hearing evaluation as well.”
American Hearing & Balance in Marina del Rey CA wants to be the provider of choice for following up on
screening results from the National Hearing Test. The knowledgeable audiologists are equipped to conduct
further testing, provide advice, and respond to questions. The publicity generated by the debut of the
National Hearing Test is providing much needed attention to the subject of hearing loss. As more individuals
are screened, the need for in-office hearing testing and personalized treatment plans and follow-up health
care increases too. The audiologists at American Hearing & Balance in Marina del Rey CA are ideally suited
to conduct the comprehensive hearing testing advised by the test creators and to advise people on their
treatment alternatives if hearing loss is established.
Although the National Hearing Test is a wonderful first step for many individuals, it does require a land-based
telephone connection, a noiseless testing location and the finger dexterity to accurately enter sequences of
numbers into the phone. Anyone who suspects hearing loss and might have trouble completing the
telephone-based screening is encouraged to schedule an assessment directly with a local audiologist.
