Talk in a normal speaking voice. DO NOT SHOUT!! (Room must be quiet)
Do not smoke, eat or cover your mouth while giving this test. Annunciate clearly.
Before each word use the phrase, "Say the word,_______", or pause.

This test is not meant to take the place of a reliable professional hearing test. If you suspect a hearing loss, please call us. This test is only reliable if the room is quiet. Turn off the TV, radio, kitchen appliances, etc. The living room is recommended for this test, and only the person being tested and the tester should be in the room during the test. This test is not reliable enough to give most children under age six.
