Pure Tone Audiometry
Pure Tone Audiometry is one of the
most essential tests that help doctors assess your hearing threshold levels. It
quantifies whispers or any kind of sound that a human ear can pick up at
different pitches and can tell the extent and kind of hearing impairment. We at
Mukund Hearing Solutions, Pune, ensure our clients receive accurate and
thorough audiometric analysis and the best equipment, aided by our professional
audiologists.
What is
Pure Tone Audiometry?
Pure Tone Audiometry is a
behavioural test of hearing that tests both peripheral and central hearing. It
comprises the use of headphones where a participant seems to be listening and
raises a hand every time he or she perceives a tone. These are presented on an
audiogram, which is a graph of hearing thresholds in relation to frequency.
Degrees of
Hearing Loss
● Normal (0–25 dB): Hearing within normal limits.
● Mild (26–40 dB): This basically points to two things – fuzziness when trying
to listen to a quiet voice or straining, for instance, to hear a couple that is
arguing in the next room.
● Moderate (41–55 dB): Affects speech understanding and
interaction.
● Moderate-Severe (56–70 dB): Limited speech intelligibility.
● Severe (71–90 dB): Noticeable impact on voice quality.
● Profound (>90 dB): There may be a
decline in speaking and understanding language (deafness).
This is because pure tone audiometry can diagnose hearing
problems at an early stage, making it easier to treat without affecting the
overall lifestyle of the patient.
