English translation: To check/verify you hearing/visual functions

Medical - Medical (general) / Clincal trial consent form
Arabic term or phrase: اساس
يتم اجراء اختبار سمع كاساس لوظيفة السمع لديك

يتم اجراء اختبار للابصار كاساس لوظيفة الرؤية لديك

Of course, I know that اساس is "foundation", "basis", and also "key". In this context, then, would it be correct to translate it as a verb - "verify", or "determine"?

"A hearing test will be conducted to verify/determine your hearing capacity".

I'm a little curious about why the second part of the sentence even appears. Why else would they conduct a hearing test if not to verify if one can hear :)? They do go on to say that this test is standard practice with patients of this illness (TB), treated with typical drugs - ممارسة قياسية لمرضى الذين يجرى علاجهم بعقاققير قياسية لعلاج مرض السل المقاوم لعدة عقاقير - so maybe they imply a possibility of hearing loss, and therefore a need for verification of its existence? Is that what it is? Anyone with a medical background might offer insight here?

Thanks so much. I think this concludes the series of questions.... :)

Usually, in clinical research, you "establish" a baseline for a test if you need to check this test after the study drug was taken.
