Philippine National Ear Institute Services
Offering specialized diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative, and educational services through a multidisciplinary team dedicated to improving hearing health and
quality of life.
Puretone Audiometry Speech Test
This test determines your hearing threshold.
Tympanometry
Test used to evaluate the health and function of the middle ea
Stapedial Reflex
Charts the lowest sound level needed to trigger this contraction
Stapedial Reflex Delay
Measuring the physical time gap before the muscle starts contracting.
Acoustic Reflex
Automatic, involuntary contraction of the tiny stapedius muscle in your middle ear when you are exposed to high-intensity sounds.
Play Audiometry
Specialized behavioral hearing test designed for toddlers and preschoolers, typically aged 2 to 5 years old.
Cold/Hot Calorics
Diagnostic medical procedure used to evaluate the function of the peripheral vestibular (balance) system.
Otoacoustic Emmissions (DPOAE or TOAE)
microscopic, involuntary acoustic sounds generated directly by the outer hair cells within the cochlea of the inner ear.
SISI / TDT
Specialized behavioral hearing tests used to differentiate between cochlear (inner ear) and retrocochlear (auditory nerve) hearing disorders.
Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential (CAEP)
Electrophysiological measure that tracks how the auditory cortex responds to sound.
Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry
Electrophysiological test that measures how the auditory nerve and brainstem pathways respond to sound.
Videonystafmography (VNG) Complete
Comprehensive battery of tests used to evaluate patients suffering from dizziness, vertigo, or balance disorders.
Video Head Impulse Test (VHIT)
Advanced diagnostic balance test that measures the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR).
Vestibulo Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP)
Neurophysiological test used to evaluate the function of the otolith organs (the saccule and utricle) in the inner ear and their associated nerve pathways.
Speech Aided
Evaluates a person’s ability to hear, clear clarity, and understand spoken words while wearing their hearing devices.
Hearing and Noise Test (HINT)
Adaptive speech discrimination test used to measure an individual’s ability to hear and understand sentences in both quiet environments and competing background noise.
Electrocochleaography
Objective electrophysiological test that measures the electrical potentials generated by the inner ear (cochlea) and the auditory nerve in response to sound.
ASSR
Objective, electrophysiological hearing test used to automatically estimate pure-tone hearing thresholds in infants, young children, and uncooperative adults.
Tinitus Matching
Behavioral audiological procedure used to determine the exact pitch (frequency) and volume (loudness) of a patient’s subjective phantom ear ringing.
Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR)
Rapid, automated objective screening tool used exclusively to detect infant hearing loss within the first few days of life.
