  2. Audiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiogram

    The intensities displayed on the audiogram appear as linear 10 dBHL steps. However, decibels are a logarithimic scale, so that successive 10 dB increments represent greater increases in loudness. For humans, normal hearing is between −10 dB(HL) and 15 dB(HL), [2] [3] although 0 dB from 250 Hz to 8 kHz is deemed to be 'average' normal hearing.

  3. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

    The results of pure-tone audiometry are however a very good indicator of hearing impairment. Hearing disability is defined by the WHO as a reduction in the ability to hear sounds in both quiet and noisy environments (compared to people with normal hearing), which is caused by a hearing impairment.

    Here's how to read an audiogram and a doctor's explanation of the most common results including sloping hearing loss, notched hearing loss, cookie-bite hearing loss and reverse-sloping hearing loss.

  5. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

    To take this into account, hearing sensitivity can be measured for a range of frequencies and plotted on an audiogram. Other method for quantifying hearing loss is a hearing test using a mobile application or hearing aid application, which includes a hearing test. [1] [2] Hearing diagnosis using mobile application is similar to the audiometry ...

  6. Hearing test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_test

    The result of the test is an audiogram diagram which plots a person's hearing sensitivity at the tested frequencies. On an audiogram an "x" plot represents the softest threshold heard at each specific frequency in the left ear, and an "o" plot represents the softest threshold heard at each specific frequency in the right ear.

  7. Audiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiometry

    The result of most audiometry is an audiogram plotting some measured dimension of hearing, either graphically or tabularly. The most common type of audiogram is the result of a pure tone audiometry hearing test which plots frequency versus amplitude sensitivity thresholds for each ear along with bone conduction thresholds at 8 standard ...

  8. Sensorineural hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensorineural_hearing_loss

    Similar symptoms are also associated with other kinds of hearing loss; audiometry or other diagnostic tests are necessary to distinguish sensorineural hearing loss. Identification of sensorineural hearing loss is usually made by performing a pure tone audiometry (an audiogram) in which bone conduction thresholds are measured.

  9. Audiometrist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiometrist

    An audiometrist conducts hearing tests, or "audiometric screening", with an Audiometer to establish hearing levels. [3] The results are represented by an audiogram, and are usually interpreted by an audiologist, or a registered Medical Officer, [4] unless the audiometrist is also an audiologist, with the aim of diagnosing hearing loss.
