What are the auditory tests for pensioners?
These are done to determine the source of the auditory distress. Bone conduction, pure tone audiometry, speech therapy enable the audiologist to understand what exactly the problem is and then take further steps to resolve it.
- Pure tone audiometry is done to check at which frequencies and how well you can hear sounds
- Bone conduction tests are done when it needs to be determined whether the ear canal is functioning well
- Speech testing determines the ability to distinguish speech from the background noise and thus, your ability to understand what is going on in the conversation when it occurs in a noisy environment
- Acoustic Reflex Tests determines the muscle contractions of the middle ear and thus enables the audiologist to determine the location of the hearing problem
- Tympanometry determines how well the eardrum moves during its response to air pressure
