Hearing tests are increasingly common in both the USA and Brazil due to aging populations and increased awareness of hearing health. In Brazil, they are typically covered by public health services (SUS) for elderly patients and those with specific medical needs. In the USA, they are often recommended during routine physical examinations and are frequently covered by insurance for seniors and workers in noisy environments.
