PURE TONE AUDIOMETRY
The pure tone audiometry (headphone audiometry) is a medical procedure aimed at quantitatively detecting the patient’s hearing ability. The procedure, which is neither painful nor invasive or dangerous, is performed inside a soundproof booth where the patient will be asked to use a pair of headphones.
The pure tone audiometry, conducted by the Audiometrist Technician, consists of determining the hearing threshold for simple stimuli.
The Audiometrist Technician will send sounds to the headphones (starting from low tones up to high tones) and will ask the patient to press a button every time they perceive a sound. The exam can be performed by both children and adults and has no contraindications.
This exam may also require the execution of the speech audiometry.
Casa di Cura Piacenza is the first Center in Italy dedicated in an ultra-specialized manner to ear and cranial base diseases, boasting the presence of 7 state-of-the-art audiometric booths, thus allowing these exams to be performed in the best possible way.
Patient Preparation
It is recommended that the patient bring any previous tonal audiometry test.
