Audiometry
Audiometry is a test used to measure a person's hearing ability. It evaluates how well someone can hear different sounds, pitches, and volumes. The test is typically conducted in a soundproof room using headphones and an audiometer, which produces various tones. Results help identify hearing loss and determine the best course of action for treatment or management.
Audiometry is essential for diagnosing conditions like sensorineural hearing loss or conductive hearing loss. It is commonly used in audiology clinics, schools, and workplaces to ensure individuals can hear effectively. Regular audiometric testing can help monitor changes in hearing over time.
