speech audiometry

Speech audiometry is a hearing test that evaluates how well you can understand and recognize spoken words. During the test, you listen to words presented at different volumes and are asked to repeat them. This helps determine the quietest level at which you can understand speech (speech reception threshold) and how clearly you can distinguish words at comfortable levels. It's an important tool for assessing clarity of hearing and understanding speech, providing valuable information alongside other hearing tests to diagnose communication difficulties accurately.
