Are There Any Tests To Diagnose Smell Sensitivity?

Smell sensitivity, or hyperosmia, can be assessed through a series of olfactory tests. These tests often involve identifying and differentiating various scents at different concentrations. A healthcare provider may use standardized smell tests, like the "Sniffin' Sticks" or the "University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test," to evaluate your sense of smell. If you suspect heightened smell sensitivity, consulting with an ENT specialist can provide further guidance.
