Audiometry
indicating when they hear them, allowing the audiologist to determine the softest sounds the patient can hear at each frequency. This information helps diagnose the type and degree of hearing loss, if present
Types of audiometry tests offered at Rajnish Hospital include:
Pure-Tone Audiometry: This test measures the hearing thresholds for pure-tone sounds across different frequencies (usually ranging from low to high frequencies). It helps identify the type and severity of hearing loss, whether it’s conductive, sensorineural, or mixed.
Speech Audiometry: Speech audiometry evaluates the patient’s ability to understand speech at different volumes. It assesses speech discrimination and recognition scores, providing valuable information about speech understanding in noisy environments.
Tympanometry: Tympanometry measures the movement of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the middle ear’s function. It helps identify conditions such as middle ear infections, fluid accumulation, and eardrum perforations.
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs): OAE testing measures the sounds emitted by the inner ear (cochlea) in response to external sounds. It is used to assess cochlear function and is often part of newborn hearing screenings.
Rajnish Hospital’s audiometry services are vital for early detection of hearing impairments, fitting hearing aids, monitoring hearing health, and providing rehabilitation options for patients with hearing loss. The hospital’s commitment to advanced technology, experienced audiologists, and patient-centered care ensures accurate assessments and personalized treatment plans for individuals with auditory concerns.
