Pure-tone audiometry is a subjective test used to measure hearing sensitivity. This measure involves the peripheral and central auditory systems. Pure-tone thresholds (PTTs) indicate the softest sound audible to an individual at least 50% of the time. Hearing sensitivity is plotted on an audiogram, which is a graph displaying intensity as a function of frequency. We have one of the best Audiologist in Kota and also Speech Therapist in Kota city.
Impedance audiometry is an objective method based on the measurement of the pressure in the middle ear, stapedius reflexes, and tension of the tympanic membrane. It is one of the most common and most accurate methods for testing the middle ear. The procedure is carried out by Speech Therapist and we have the best Speech Therapist in Kota. Impedance audiometry covers following tests tympanometry, which measures the pressure in the middle ear.
A healthy hearing nerve transmits nerve impulses from the inner ear (Cochlea) to the brainstem by a known speed. This test can determine the rate at which nerve impulses reach the prolonged brain and multiple levels of the central nervous system (CNS) and whether there is a delay that can indicate the occurrence of hearing loss. In this way, the type (conductive or sensoryineural), degree (hearing threshold) and hearing loss (internal ear or higher parts of the hearing) can be determined.
