What Is Pure Tone Audiometry?
Pure tone audiometry is a detailed clinical test that measures how well you hear different sound frequenciesâfrom low (250 Hz) to high (8000 Hz). It checks the minimum volume levels (thresholds) at which you can detect specific tones in each ear.
The test is done in a soundproof room by an RCI-licensed audiologist using calibrated equipment. Youâll be asked to respond when you hear a sound through headphones, allowing the specialist to map your audiogramâa visual chart showing your hearing ability across both ears.
What It Helps Diagnose:
1. Sensorineural, conductive, or mixed hearing loss
2. Asymmetrical hearing between ears
3. Degree of loss: mild, moderate, severe, or profound
4. Whether hearing aids or medical referral are needed
Why Itâs Recommended?
Unlike online hearing tests or basic screenings, pure tone audiometry offers precise data thatâs required for:
1. Hearing aid fitting
2. ENT or neurological referral
3. Disability certification (in select cases)
4. Pre/post-surgical evaluation
Who Should Take a Pure Tone Audiometry Test?
If you're unsure whether you need an in-clinic hearing test, hereâs when pure tone audiometry is recommended by audiologists and ENTs across India.
1. Youâre experiencing symptoms like:
- Muffled speech or sound distortion
- Difficulty following conversations in noisy places
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Sudden or gradual hearing changes in one or both ears
- Listening fatigue or increased sensitivity to sound
2. Youâve already taken online hearing test
- And it showed potential hearing loss or unclear results
3. You were referred by a
- General physician
- ENT specialist
- Hearing aid dispenser or audiologist
- For diagnostic clarity before treatment or device fitting
4. You need documentation for:
- Hearing aid trial or fitting
- Medical records for insurance claims
- Disability certification (in applicable cases)
Note from Audiologists
Mild hearing loss often goes unnoticed. A clinical hearing test like audiometry can detect subtle changes that impact your quality of life long before it becomes severe.
What to Expect During a Pure Tone Audiometry Test
Never taken a hearing test before? Donât worryâpure tone audiometry is simple, painless, and takes less than 30 minutes. Here' s how it works inside the clinic:
âThe earlier you act, the better your chances of recovery.â
Take Free Test Now1. Enter a Soundproof Booth
Youâll be seated comfortably in a quiet, sound-treated room to ensure accurate results without background interference.
2. Wear Calibrated Headphones
The audiologist will place specialized headphones over your ears and begin playing tones at different frequencies and volumes.
3. Respond to the Tones
Youâll press a button or raise your hand every time you hear a soundâno matter how soft. This helps map your hearing thresholds.
4. Audiogram Chart is Created
Your responses are plotted on a graph called an audiogram, which shows how well you hear in each ear across low, mid, and high-frequency ranges.
5. Results Are Explained Immediately
Your audiologist will walk you through the results, recommend next steps (if any), and discuss treatment or hearing aid options if needed.
Understanding Your Audiogram What the Test Results Show
After your pure tone audiometry test, the audiologist will give you a graph called an audiogram. This chart shows the softest sounds you can hear at different pitches, for both your left and right ears.
Hearing Thresholds
The graph shows how well you hear low (bass), mid, and high (treble) frequenciesâessential for speech, music, and everyday sounds.
Degree of Hearing Loss
These ranges help determine whether hearing aids, medical referral, or other treatment is appropriate. Your audiogram may show:
1. Normal hearing (0â25 dB)
2. Mild loss (26â40 dB)
3. Moderate (41â55 dB)
4. Severe (71â90 dB)
5. Profound (91+ dB)
One Ear or Both?
It also reveals if the hearing loss affects one ear more than the otherâa key factor in diagnosis and device selection.
Progress Monitoring
If youâve had hearing issues for a while, the audiogram can be compared with past tests to track changes over time.
