Hearing evaluation and audiometry
Hearing evaluation and audiometry are important diagnostic procedures used to assess a person’s hearing ability and detect hearing-related problems. These tests help ENT specialists determine the type and degree of hearing loss by measuring how well a person can hear different sounds, tones, and speech levels. Early detection of hearing issues is essential to ensure proper treatment and prevent further hearing deterioration.
During an audiometry test, patients typically wear headphones and respond to various sounds played at different frequencies and volumes. The test is performed in a soundproof environment to ensure accurate results. The audiologist carefully records the responses and analyzes the results to identify hearing problems such as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or other auditory conditions.
At Srusti Hospital, advanced audiometry equipment is used to provide precise and reliable hearing assessments. Based on the results, specialists may recommend appropriate treatments, hearing aids, or further medical evaluation. Regular hearing tests are especially important for individuals experiencing hearing difficulties, frequent ear infections, or exposure to loud noise environments.
