It involves the following steps: Preparation: The patient is seated in a soundproof booth to eliminate background noise. They wear headphones or insert earphones. Test Tones: The audiologist plays pure tones (single-frequency sounds) at various pitches (frequencies) and volumes (intensities) through the headphones. These tones typically range from low frequencies (250 Hz) to high frequencies (8000 Hz). Response: The patient indicates whether they can hear each tone, usually by pressing a button or raising a hand. Threshold Determination: The quietest level at which the patient can hear each tone at least 50% of the time is recorded as the hearing threshold for that frequency. This process is repeated for each ear. Audiogram: The results are plotted on an audiogram, a graph that shows the hearing threshold levels across the tested frequencies for both ears. The vertical axis represents the intensity in decibels (dB), and the horizontal axis represents the frequency in Hertz (Hz). An audiogram can help diagnose the type and degree of hearing loss, such as conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss. This information is crucial for determining appropriate interventions, such as hearing aids, medical treatment, or surgery.
