Hearing Testing
Pure Tone Audiometry
It is a behavioral test used to measure hearing sensitivity. Pure-tone
thresholds indicate the softest sound audible to an individual at least 50% of the
time. Hearing sensitivity is plotted on an audiogram, which is a graph displaying intensity as a function of frequency.
Tympanometry
Tympanometry is a test that shows how well your middle ear is
working. It does this by measuring how your eardrum
moves. Tympanometry can help diagnose problems that arise along the middle
