Audiogram Test Treatment in India

Vihaan Chopra, a 58-year-old senior project manager at a bustling construction firm, had always prided himself on his sharp hearing and ability to manage multiple conversations on a noisy site. Over the past year, however, he found himself constantly asking colleagues to repeat themselves, struggling to follow discussions in meetings, and turning up the television volume to levels his wife complained were unbearable. He felt a growing sense of isolation and frustration, worrying it was a sign of aging he couldn't control. His family doctor, concerned about both his safety at work and his social withdrawal, referred him to an ENT specialist. Dr. Sharma recommended a comprehensive audiogram to objectively assess his hearing loss. During the test, sitting in the quiet, soundproof booth and responding to a series of beeps and words, Vihaan felt a mix of anxiety and resignation. The post-procedure outcome confirmed a moderate, high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, likely noise-induced from his decades on construction sites. While the diagnosis was sobering, it also brought clarity. With a treatment plan that included hearing aids and communication strategies, Vihaan felt a burden lift. His emotional journey shifted from fear and embarrassment to proactive acceptance. He was relieved to have a tangible cause and a solution, regaining confidence at work and reconnecting with his family.
