How is Mixed Hearing Loss Diagnosed in Cancer Patients?
A thorough diagnosis involves multiple steps:
1. Medical History and Physical Examination: Evaluation of cancer treatment history and a physical exam of the ear. 2. Audiometric Tests: Hearing tests to determine the degree and type of hearing loss. 3. Imaging Studies: MRI or CT scans to detect tumors or other abnormalities. 4. Otoscopy: Examination of the ear canal and eardrum using an otoscope.
