    What Does an Audiometry Test Measure?

    1. Hearing Thresholds:

      • Determines the softest sound levels an individual can hear.

    2. Frequency Range:

      • Evaluates the ability to hear high and low-pitched sounds.

    3. Speech Recognition:

      • Assesses how well an individual understands spoken words at different volumes.

    4. Bone and Air Conduction:

      • Measures sound transmission through the ear canal and bones to pinpoint hearing loss.

    • Pure Tone Audiometry:

      • Measures the faintest tones a person can hear at varying pitches.

    • Speech Audiometry:

      • Evaluates the clarity of speech perception and recognition.
