How much difference to expect between audiology reports from different audtiologists?

I recently had two hearing tests – one from an audiologist at a doctor’s office and one from an audiologist at a local University speech and hearing clinic and training center. While both graphs were similar, I found the one from the ENT was a bit steeper curve than the one from the Univ. The two tests were only two weeks apart. How much consistency should I expect on repeated tests? Thanks!

The tests are guides and depend on your responses. Sometimes we expect to hear a beep and so we press the button. Maybe on the second test you responded with a different criteria in your brain. I often struggle to decide “did I hear the beep or imagine it?” So it’s not necessarily going to be exactly the same each test, but will give you an idea of your level of loss by frequency.
