Audiometry
A non-invasive study to assess auditory function and detect hearing changes.
Hearing problems can occur in people of any age and often go unnoticed until they begin to affect daily life. Difficulties become noticeable when it becomes difficult for a person to perceive someone else's speech.
Audiometry allows you to identify the degree and nature of hearing loss, which is important for choosing the right treatment. The equipment for generating sounds of various frequencies and intensities allows you to determine the lowest volume at which the patient begins to hear the sound. The audiometry procedure is safe, non-invasive and does not cause discomfort. It can be performed in both adults and children.
No special training is required before audiometry. The patient is recommended to: Bring the results of previous hearing examinations, if any Clean the ears of sulfur plugs (if necessary)
The procedure can be performed in an ENT room (natural noise) or in a soundproof cabin with headphones. The audiologist consistently delivers sounds of different frequencies and loudness, and the patient must indicate when he begins to hear the sound by pressing the button.
For conducting audiometry, the following methods are used: Audiometer Soundproof cabin Headphones and microphones Computer for recording and analyzing data
After audiometry, the patient can immediately return to normal life. Based on the results of audiometry, the doctor gives recommendations for further actions, which may include prescribing treatment, selecting hearing aids or additional examination.
