Know exactly how you hear. Complete hearing testing and audiology in Nagpur

A hearing test is quick, painless, and the essential first step in understanding any hearing concern. At Kingsway Hospitals, Nagpur, comprehensive hearing evaluation is available for all ages — from newborns to older adults — with results interpreted by Dr. Sweta Lohiya, Consultant ENT Surgeon, to guide the right next step.

Complete Hearing Evaluation

Detailed testing to measure how well you hear across different pitches and volumes, identifying the type and degree of any hearing loss.

Hearing Tests for Children & Newborns

Age-appropriate hearing tests for babies and children, including tests that don’t require the child to respond — supporting early detection.

Hearing Aid Assessment

Evaluation to determine whether a hearing aid will help, which type suits your hearing loss, and guidance on getting the best from it.

Cochlear Implant Assessment

Specialised testing to determine whether a cochlear implant is appropriate when hearing aids no longer provide enough benefit.

TESTING THAT LEADS TO ANSWERS

A hearing test is only useful if someone acts on it

A hearing test result on its own is just a chart. What matters is what it means for you — whether it points to a treatable ear problem, a hearing aid, or a surgical option. Because testing here sits alongside full ENT care, your results are interpreted in clinical context by Dr. Sweta Lohiya, whose fellowship training under Padmashree Dr. M. V. Kirtane is specifically in otology and cochlear implantation.

Get tested — and get a clear explanation of what it means.

Frequently asked questions

A hearing test is painless and usually takes 20–30 minutes. You'll wear headphones in a quiet room and respond to sounds at different pitches and volumes. Additional tests may check eardrum movement or inner ear function. You'll get your results the same day.

The standard hearing test. It measures the softest sounds you can hear across a range of pitches, showing the type and degree of hearing loss on a chart called an audiogram.

Checks how well the eardrum moves and whether there's fluid or pressure problems in the middle ear. Particularly useful in children with suspected glue ear.

Measures sound responses produced by the inner ear. Quick and requires no response from the patient — which is why it's widely used to screen newborn hearing.

Tests the hearing nerve pathway from the ear to the brainstem. Used for infants, young children, and anyone who cannot reliably respond to standard testing.

Measures how clearly you understand speech, not just whether you detect sound — important when assessing hearing aid benefit.

Have your hearing tested if you frequently ask people to repeat themselves, turn the TV up louder than others prefer, struggle to follow conversation in noisy places, have ringing in the ears, or have been exposed to loud noise at work. Newborns should be screened, and children should be tested if speech is delayed.

No. A hearing test is completely painless. You simply listen to sounds through headphones and indicate when you hear them. Some tests require no response at all.

A standard hearing test usually takes about 20–30 minutes, including discussion of results. Some specialised tests take longer.

Hearing can be tested at any age, including newborns. Tests such as OAE and BERA don't require the child to respond, making them suitable for babies and very young children.

Hearing is essential for speech and language development. Early detection of hearing loss allows earlier support, which significantly helps a child's communication development.

A hearing test shows the type and degree of your hearing loss. If the loss affects daily communication and is suitable for amplification, a hearing aid may help. The assessment determines whether it's the right option for you.

hearing aid amplifies sound for an ear that still works to some degree. A cochlear implant is a surgically placed device used when hearing loss is severe or profound and hearing aids no longer provide enough benefit. See

Yes. Hearing often declines gradually, and many people adapt without realising. A test can identify changes earlier than you'd notice them yourself.

You can book a hearing assessment directly. If a medical or surgical cause is found, it can be addressed within the same ENT service.

If you have no symptoms, occasional checks are reasonable, particularly after age 50 or if you work in noisy environments. If you have hearing loss or use a hearing aid, follow the review schedule your specialist advises.

Yes. Significant wax can block sound and affect results. The ear is examined before testing, and wax is removed if needed so the test is accurate.
