It’s recommended after noticing symptoms like muffled sound, ringing (tinnitus), or poor clarity—even if you've already taken an online hearing test. The results will guide next steps like hearing aids, therapy, or ENT referral—based on real data from your audiogram.

Success Rate
Pure tone audiometry is a detailed clinical test that measures how well you hear different sound frequencies—from 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. You’ll be asked to respond when you hear a sound through headphones, allowing the specialist to map your audiogram—a 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 It’s Recommended?
Unlike online hearing tests or basic screenings, pure tone audiometry offers precise data that’s required for:
1. Hearing aid fitting
2. ENT or neurological referral
3. Disability certification (in select cases)
4. Pre/post-surgical evaluation
If you're unsure whether you need an in-clinic hearing test, here’s when pure tone audiometry is recommended by audiologists and ENTs across India.
Never taken a hearing test before? Don’t worry—pure tone audiometry is simple, painless, and takes less than 30 minutes. Here' s how it works inside the clinic:
“The earlier you act, the better your chances of recovery.”
Take Free Test NowYou’ll be seated comfortably in a quiet, sound-treated room to ensure accurate results without background interference.
The audiologist will place specialized headphones over your ears and begin playing tones at different frequencies and volumes.
You’ll press a button or raise your hand every time you hear a sound—no matter how soft. This helps map your hearing thresholds.
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.
Your audiologist will walk you through the results, recommend next steps (if any), and discuss treatment or hearing aid options if needed.
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) frequencies—essential 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 (0–25 dB)
2. Mild loss (26–40 dB)
3. Moderate (41–55 dB)
4. Severe (71–90 dB)
5. Profound (91+ dB)
One Ear or Both?
It also reveals if the hearing loss affects one ear more than the other—a key factor in diagnosis and device selection.
Progress Monitoring
If you’ve had hearing issues for a while, the audiogram can be compared with past tests to track changes over time.

No. It’s completely painless. You’ll sit in a soundproof booth, wear headphones, and respond to simple tones. The procedure doesn’t involve any physical discomfort or invasive equipment.
The full test typically takes 20–30 minutes. If speech audiometry or tympanometry is also performed, your session may be slightly longer.
