  • identify any issues that may become medical concerns in the future

  • update any necessary immunizations

  • ensure that you are maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine

Audiometry

 

Tests your ability to hear sounds. Sounds vary based on their loudness (intensity) and the speed of sound wave vibrations (tone).

 

The INTENSITY of sound is measured in decibels (dB):

  • A whisper is about 20 dB

  • Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 - 120 dB

  • A jet engine is about 140 - 180 dB

 

The TONE of sound is measured in cycles per second (cps) or Hertz:

  • Low bass tones range around 50 - 60 Hz

  • Shrill, high-pitched tones range around 10,000 Hz or higher

Ishihara

The plates make up several different test designs:

  • Transformation plates: individuals with color vision defect should see a different figure from individuals with normal color vision.

  • Vanishing plates: only individuals with normal color vision could recognize the figure.

  • Hidden digit plates: only individuals with color vision defect could recognize the figure.
