Audiology Report for Joe Smith

Joe Smith, a 71-year-old patient, underwent an audiologic evaluation on March 15, 2016, revealing mild to severe sensorineural sloping hearing loss in both ears and a mild signal-to-noise ratio loss, indicating challenges in understanding speech amidst background noise. The tympanometry results were normal, and the patient reported constant aural fullness but no significant medical history related to hearing loss. Recommendations include follow-up with the referring physician, consideration of amplification, and the use of hearing protection in noisy environments.
