1) To get a baseline of your hearing. 2) To compare any future hearing issues, particularly ant hearing loss patterns .

The audiology professional organizations, AAA & ASHA, recommend your first baseline test at age 50, unless you experience hearing difficulty sooner. If your results show hearing within normal range, consider retesting in another 5 years. If hearing loss is identified, follow the recommendations of your audiologist.

It is recommended that everyone have a baseline hearing test by age 60.    Angela R. Sieh Ceretto, M.A., CCC-A, FAAA Audiologist Pinnacle Audiology, LLC 6809 S. Minnesota Ave., Suite 101 605-306-4481  

Hi, great question! If you have any concerns about your hearing or other health conditions that may affect your hearing (cardiovascular, diabetes, kidney,noise exposure, genetic history of hearing loss) then start now! If not, you can probably wait until around 60. If the hearing is normal then go every 2-3 years for monitoring. Good luck!

Around 50 years old at the latest.
