Have you ever wondered what is done to test your hearing? The procedure by which your hearing is tested forms the basis of Pure Tone Audiometry. At Ambulkar Speech and Hearing Clinic, we believe that a sort of empowerment by making the patients aware of the procedure that they are undergoing is necessary. So, we need to understand a little bit of how this test is done.
Pure Tone Audiometry is a kind of conventional hearing test that measures the ability to hear unlike sounds. The pure tone audiometry test, though not itself a clinical diagnosis, forms a vital basis in the diagnosis of any possible hearing loss and the determination of the nature and degree of the handicap. The test has a number of various pure tones, or just solo-frequency sounds, at a few different volumes presented to you. Your reaction to those tones helps your audiologist decide on your auditory threshold.
The test is usually conducted in a soundproof room to reduce the effect of outside noise. You will be wearing earphones; different pure tones will then be introduced to each ear separately. You will signal, raise your hand, or press a button whenever you hear a sound. The audiologist gradually attenuates the volume until you no longer hear it. Then, the audiologist does this with different frequencies of the sounds to plot an audiogram, which is the graphical representation of your ability to hear.
Early Detection: Pure Tone Audiometry makes it possible to detect loss in its early stages, as well as intervene and manage it.
Personalized Treatment: Results from Pure Tone Audiometry enable us to offer solutions in hearing that are tailored to the needs of our patients, including hearing aids or other assistive devices for use.
