Hearing Fitness Test / Audiometry
A Hearing Fitness Test (also known as Audiometry) assesses an individual’s ability to hear sounds. It measures hearing across various frequencies and decibel levels to identify if any hearing abnormalities exist, and if so, their degree and cause.
Benefits of Hearing Fitness Testing
Hearing tests are crucial for overall ear health and quality of life. Here are the main benefits:
Screen for Hearing Loss: It helps detect abnormal hearing conditions early in children, adults, and the elderly, which might be due to age, environmental factors, or certain diseases.
Diagnose and Classify Hearing Loss: The test can differentiate between types of hearing loss, such as conductive hearing loss or sensorineural hearing loss, providing vital information for treatment planning.
Assess Severity of Hearing Loss: It identifies whether hearing loss is mild, moderate, severe, or profound, which is fundamental for considering care approaches like using hearing aids.
Monitor Treatment Outcomes or Hearing Changes: For those receiving treatment for hearing impairment or regularly exposed to loud noises, periodic testing allows doctors to track progress and adjust care plans.
Prevent Further Damage: Knowing your hearing status enables you to avoid risk factors that could worsen your hearing, such as prolonged exposure to excessively loud environments.
Improve Quality of Life: Good hearing impacts communication, social interaction, and daily safety. Detecting and addressing hearing problems can significantly enhance one’s quality of life.
Hearing Fitness Test Procedure
Confirm your name and surname with the staff for identity verification. (If you have any abnormal symptoms like a cold or muffled hearing, please inform the staff.)
Wear the headphones snugly, ensuring the red earpiece is on your right ear and the blue earpiece is on your left ear.
The staff will play an auditory signal, then gradually decrease the volume to find the softest sound you can hear.
Press the test button every time you hear a sound, even if it’s very faint.
