Audiogram
This test is carried out when the patient feels that they may have a hearing problem. This type of hearing test is a painless procedure carried out in a sound treated room and requires the patient to wear a set of headphones. The patient will be able to see the audiologist who is administering the tests.
The simplest test of hearing ability is called ‘pure tone audiometry’ where you listen to a range of beeps and whistles (called pure tones) and you indicate when you can hear them, by pressi<br>ng a button. The loudness of each tone is reduced until you can just hear the tone. The softest sounds you can hear (your hearing thresholds) are then marked on a graph called an audiogram. This test is useful for highlighting if a hearing problem exists. Your Doctor will then be able to refer you for further investigatio
