Can medications or health conditions affect my hearing test results?

Yes, certain medications (especially some antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and high doses of aspirin), earwax buildup, ear infections, allergies, and medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure can temporarily or permanently affect hearing test results. Inform your audiologist about all medications, recent illnesses, or health changes before testing to ensure accurate interpretation of your results.
