Cognivue Testing
At The Hearing Clinic, we understand that hearing is not just about the ears—it's also about how the brain processes sound. That's why we offer Cognivue testing, an innovative cognitive screening tool that helps us provide more comprehensive hearing care.
What is Cognivue Testing?
Cognivue is a state-of-the-art, FDA-cleared computerized test that assesses cognitive function related to hearing. This quick, non-invasive screening evaluates various aspects of your brain's ability to process auditory information.
Why Cognivue Testing Matters
- Hearing-Brain Connection: Research shows a strong link between hearing loss and cognitive decline. By assessing both, we can provide more effective treatment.
- Personalized Care: Understanding your cognitive function helps us tailor hearing solutions that work best for your brain, not just your ears.
- Early Detection: Cognivue can detect subtle changes in cognitive function, potentially allowing for earlier intervention in both hearing and cognitive health.
- Comprehensive Approach: By considering both hearing and cognition, we can address your communication needs more holistically.
What Cognivue Evaluates
Cognivue assesses three primary cognitive domains crucial for processing auditory information:
- Memory: Your ability to store and recall auditory information.
- Visuospatial Skills: Important for sound localization and spatial awareness.
- Executive Function: Critical for understanding speech in noisy environments and following conversations.
The test also measures your processing speed and reaction time, which can affect your ability to follow rapid conversations or respond quickly in communication.
The Testing Process
Cognivue testing is:
- Quick: The test takes only about 10 minutes.
- Easy: No prior computer experience is needed.
- Comfortable: The test is self-administered in a quiet room.
- Adaptive: The test adjusts to your individual responses for accurate results.
