Audiometry Test is available at Silver Birch Diagnostic Center

Audiometry is a diagnostic test that measures a person's ability to hear sounds. It is commonly used to assess the extent, type, and degree of hearing loss. The test is performed by an audiologist, a healthcare professional specializing in hearing and balance disorders.

During an audiometry test, the individual wears headphones and responds to a series of tones or sounds presented at different frequencies and intensities. The audiologist records the person's responses on an audiogram, which is a graph showing the level of hearing sensitivity at various frequencies. The results help identify the type and degree of hearing loss, whether it is conductive (related to problems in the ear canal or middle ear) or sensorineural (related to issues in the inner ear or auditory nerve).
Audiometry is crucial for diagnosing hearing impairments, determining the appropriate course of treatment, and prescribing hearing aids or other interventions to improve communication and quality of life for individuals with hearing loss. Additionally, it is used in occupational settings to assess noise-induced hearing loss and monitor the hearing health of individuals exposed to loud environments.
