Hearing Test, Air And Bone Conduction

Texas rates for HCPCS 92553

This is a hearing test that measures the quietest sounds a person can detect, testing both through headphones (air conduction) and through a small vibrating device placed behind the ear (bone conduction). Comparing the two helps determine whether hearing loss is related to the outer or middle ear versus the inner ear or hearing nerve. It's a standard part of a diagnostic hearing evaluation.
