### Patient: I have been experiencing hearing loss and difficulty understanding people's speech lately. I think it might be presbyacusis, what medical tests do I need to undergo?
### Doctor: You will need to undergo an ophthalmologic and otologic diagnosis and treatment to determine the cause of your hearing loss. Additionally, diagnostic procedures on your nose, mouth, and pharynx may also be required. Other therapeutic ear procedures may be necessary to treat your condition. Biopsies may be performed to rule out any underlying conditions. However, corneal transplant, procedures on spleen, and removal of ectopic pregnancy are not related to your hearing loss and are unnecessary.
