Audiometry Test
An audiometry exam tests how well your hearing
functions. It tests both the intensity and the
tone of sounds, balance issues, and other
issues related to the function of the inner
ear. A doctor who specializes in diagnosing and
treating hearing loss
called an audiologist administers
the test.

Otoacoustic Emissions Test(OAE)
  • The OAE test is often part of a newborn hearing
    screening program.
  • The OAE test is used to find out how well your
    inner ear, or cochlea, works.
  • It measures otoacoustic emissions, or OAEs. These
    are sounds given off by the inner ear when
    responding to a sound.
  • This test can also show if there is a blockage in
    your outer or middle ear.

5
Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)
  • Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing is
    the best test available for newborns and
    infants up to 6 months of age that can
    provide information about the softest level of
    sound the ear can hear.
  • This test can be conducted in a few minutes.
    This test is conducted on children or others
    who cannot complete a typical hearing screening.

6
Pure-Tone Test
  • Pure-tone audiometry is a behavioral 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.

Bone Conduction
  • Pure-tone audiometry is a behavioral 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.
