Audiometry is a diagnostic test that measures a person’s hearing sensitivity across different sound frequencies. It is commonly used to detect hearing loss, assess the severity, and determine whether it’s caused by issues in the outer, middle, or inner ear. At Karan Hospital, our audiologists perform Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), Speech Audiometry, and Tympanometry to evaluate your hearing health in detail. The test is quick, painless, and essential for diagnosing age-related hearing loss, occupational damage due to noise, ear infections, or neurological issues. Based on results, appropriate medical or surgical treatment, hearing aids, or therapies are recommended for improved quality of life.
