Tests

Tests carried out at the clinic

Hearing, balance and sleep tests take place at the Ümitköy clinic, often on the same day as the examination.

Hearing and ear pressure tests

Your hearing is measured in a sound-treated booth; a few-second pressure test shows whether there is fluid behind the eardrum.

Hearing tests for children

A screening test, ABR or audiometry is used depending on age.

Balance assessment

Distinguishes whether dizziness comes from the inner ear.

Sleep study (polysomnography)

When snoring or pauses in breathing are suspected, breathing is recorded through the night.
