audiometric testing

Audiometric testing is an evaluation of hearing ability, typically conducted in a soundproof environment. During the test, you listen to various sounds, such as tones and speech, and indicate when you hear them. This method helps identify hearing thresholds and potential hearing issues. The results are plotted on an audiogram, illustrating the softest sounds you can hear across different frequencies. Audiometric testing is essential for diagnosing hearing loss, guiding treatment options, and monitoring changes in hearing over time. It is commonly performed by audiologists or hearing specialists.
