pure tone audiometry

Pure-tone audiometry is a hearing test used to assess an individual's ability to hear different frequencies or pitches of sounds. During the test, you wear headphones and listen for beeping sounds at various frequencies. You indicate when you hear a sound, which helps the audiologist determine your hearing sensitivity across the frequency range. The results are plotted on an audiogram, giving a visual representation of your hearing ability. This test helps identify hearing loss and guides potential treatment options, ensuring effective communication and quality of life.
