Audiometry is a branch of audiology that measures hearing acuity by assessing a person's ability to hear sounds of different intensities and frequencies, often using an audiometer and resulting in an audiogram that visually displays the results.
Audiometry is a test used to evaluate hearing ability by measuring the softest sound a person can hear at different frequencies.
It helps determine the type and degree of hearing loss, and can assist in diagnosing hearing problems and recommending appropriate treatments.
Uses pure tones (single frequencies) presented through earphones or a bone conduction device to test air and bone conduction.
Evaluates speech recognition and detection thresholds, which is important for understanding how well a person can hear and understand speech.
The results of audiometry are plotted on a graph called an audiogram, which visually displays the hearing thresholds at different frequencies.
Audiometry can help differentiate between:
Damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve.
Problems with the outer or middle ear that prevent sound from reaching the inner ear.
A combination of both sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.
