Audiometry is a painless test that assesses hearing. It measures how well you hear sounds of different frequency and loudness.
Why is it needed?
To detect hearing loss, determine its degree and type, and choose the right solution.
How does it work?
You wear headphones and press a button when you hear a sound. It takes place in a quiet room and usually lasts 15–30 minutes. It is completely painless.
What does it reveal?
The result is an audiogram, a graph of hearing level for each ear. A specialist advises based on it.
When to seek help?
If you ask people to repeat, turn up the TV, or cannot follow speech in noise — get your hearing checked.
