Hearing Discrepancy Screening Test

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 92565

This test helps determine whether reported hearing loss in one ear is genuine or exaggerated, by comparing how a person responds to sound in each ear separately and together. It is typically used when there's a mismatch between how a person describes their hearing and what other hearing tests show. The result helps clarify whether additional evaluation for a functional or non-physical cause of hearing complaints is needed.
