Uncover undiagnosed hearing Loss
Did you know that 81% of us could prevent the progression of hearing loss if diagnosed early? Extended High Frequency (EHF) hearing loss is more common in young adults than traditional hearing loss. It often goes undiagnosed but can affect their ability to hear speech in noisy environments.
The EHF test is a game-changer; it bridges the gap between traditional audiometry and speech perception, and it could help predict age-related hearing loss earlier in life. This allows for the implementation of preventive measures when they’re most effective. High-frequency audiometry is not only useful for diagnosing EHF hearing loss but also for identifying issues caused by ototoxicity, noise exposure, and acoustic traumas. It’s also a valuable tool for assessing patients with tinnitus.
The high-frequency range is particularly susceptible to external factors such as medications and loud noises, making it crucial to test and monitor. Book your next appointment today!

Early Detection and Diagnosis
Our Extended High Frequency (EHF) Plan for Hearing Excellence prioritizes early detection, given that 81% of hearing loss can be prevented if caught early. Our specialized screenings focus on identifying high-frequency hearing loss, a common but often overlooked issue in young adults that affects their ability to hear in noisy settings.
Testing and Analysis
Our plan incorporates a thorough testing regimen using high-frequency audiometry, targeting a variety of hearing issues beyond just EHF loss. This includes identifying ototoxicity, noise-induced hearing damage, and acoustic traumas. Our tests can also be valuable for patients with tinnitus, providing a comprehensive picture of your hearing health.
Personalized Solutions
After the diagnostic phase, we offer personalized solutions tailored to your specific needs. These solutions may range from preventive measures like noise reduction strategies to medication adjustments. To ensure long-term success, regular follow-up monitoring is integral to our plan, allowing us to adapt our strategies as needed and keep your hearing health at its peak.

FAQ
Extended High Frequency (EHF) hearing refers to frequencies above the typical audiometric range, often going up to 16 kHz. It is crucial for tasks like understanding speech in noisy environments.
Young adults are particularly at risk, but factors like noise exposure and ototoxic medications can also contribute to EHF hearing loss in all age groups.
Traditional hearing tests usually focus on lower frequencies, while EHF hearing loss affects higher frequencies that are essential for specific auditory tasks like speech perception in noisy places.
The EHF test is a specialized audiometric test that measures hearing sensitivity at extended high frequencies, offering a more comprehensive understanding of hearing capabilities.
An EHF test typically takes about 60 minutes, with additional follow-up required in some cases.
The EHF test includes extended high-frequency audiometry up to 16kHz and tests uncomfortable loudness thresholds at various frequencies. It may also include speech-in-noise tests like the LiSN test.
Early diagnosis allows for preventive measures to be most effective. It could even help predict age-related hearing loss earlier in life.
While not all EHF hearing loss is preventable, early diagnosis can mitigate its impact and potentially prevent further decline.
Treatment options may include noise protection strategies, specialized hearing aids that amplify high frequencies, and therapies for tinnitus if present.
You can usually book an EHF test through specialized audiology clinics. It’s best to consult with an audiologist for specific instructions on how to schedule an appointment.
