Hearing screenings are generally pass-or-fail tests that determine if further hearing testing is necessary. If the screening is passed, no further testing is necessary and it is assumed that hearing is fine. If the screening is failed, then further hearing tests by a qualified audiologist is necessary. The screening test usually consists of a series of beeps or tones at the limit of normal range to see if you are able to hear them.
