Audiometry

Audiometry is a type of hearing test that measures an individual's ability to hear different sounds, pitches, and volumes. During the test, patients wear headphones and respond to tones or speech at various frequencies. The results help identify hearing loss, assess its severity, and determine the best course of action, such as hearing aids or other interventions. Audiometry is an essential tool in audiology and is commonly used by healthcare professionals to evaluate and monitor hearing health in people of all ages.
