Audiometry

• Audiometry is a medical test that measures a person's ability to hear different sounds and frequencies. It is used to diagnose hearing loss and evaluate the severity of the impairment. The test is usually performed in a soundproof room and involves the use of headphones and a machine that produces sounds of different frequencies and volumes. The individual being tested indicates when they can hear the sounds, and their responses are recorded and analyzed to determine their hearing threshold and the type and severity of their hearing loss.
