There are a few objective tests that might confirm your hearing loss. DPOAE's are used to screen newborns in the hospital. If the emissions from DPOAE's are present and robust it indicates that the peripheral system of hearing (cochlea) is functioning normally and hearing can't be worse than 25dBHL which is still considered normal. The other test would be threshold ABSEP which objectively measures some evoked potentials in the brainstem and the lowest presentation level where a response is present should give an indication of your hearing thresholds, but if there is anything going on beyond the organ of hearing (cochlea) the ABSEP responses might be affected.
I hope this helps!
