Audiometry Test in Anytown
Audiometry (or pure-tone audiometry) is the most common type of hearing test. It is a simple test that provides a detailed picture of your hearing ability across different pitches and volumes.
The results are plotted on an audiogram, showing the degree, type, and configuration of hearing loss. The audiogram indicates how much louder (in decibels) the pure tone frequency must be for you to hear it compared to the level required by the average population.
What to Expect
- The test takes place in a quiet place to ensure greater accuracy.
- You’ll wear headphones and listen to a series of tones at different frequencies between 250 and 8000 Hz.
- Sounds are played at gradually softer levels until you can no longer hear them.
Care and Treatment
Based on your results, we may recommend hearing aids, monitoring or further testing. If you already use a hearing aid, we may adjust the fitting or settings if needed while you are here.
Accurate audiometry helps identify the type and severity of your hearing loss to ensure you receive the right treatment – and repeating the audiometry test at regular intervals over time allows tracking of changes, so your hearing care stays current.
