What is Audiometry?
Audiometry is a diagnostic test designed to evaluate an individual’s hearing capabilities. This test involves measuring how well you respond to sounds at various frequencies and intensity levels, helping to identify any hearing impairments or conditions.
Key Components of Audiometry:
- Pure Tone Testing: Evaluates your ability to hear sounds of different pitches in a controlled environment.
