  2. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

    Hearing sensitivity varies according to the frequency of sounds. 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.

  3. Hearing test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_test

    A hearing test provides an evaluation of the sensitivity of a person's sense of hearing and is most often performed by an audiologist using an audiometer. An audiometer is used to determine a person's hearing sensitivity at different frequencies. There are other hearing tests as well, e.g., Weber test and Rinne test.

  4. Rinne test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinne_test

    A Rinne test should always be accompanied by a Weber test to also detect sensorineural hearing loss and thus confirm the nature of hearing loss. The Rinne test was named after German otologist Heinrich Adolf Rinne (1819–1868); [3] [4] the Weber test was named after Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795–1878).

  6. Weber test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber_test

    The Weber test is administered by holding a vibrating tuning fork on top of the patient's head. The Weber test is a screening test for hearing performed with a tuning fork. [1] [2] It can detect unilateral (one-sided) conductive hearing loss (middle ear hearing loss) and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear hearing loss). [3]

    Lively (stylized as Live!y, and known before 2021 as GreatCall) is a connected health technology company based in the United States of America. Since 2018, the company has been a subsidiary of electronics retailer Best Buy . [ 1 ]

  8. Stenger test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenger_test

    The individual will deny hearing anything if he/she is a malingerer. An individual with true hearing loss should continue to hear the sound on the better hearing side. Alternatively, this test can be performed more accurately using a two-channel audiometer using pure tone signals. [3]

  9. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

    This prevents the non-test ear from detecting the test signal presented to the test ear. The threshold of the test ear is measured at the same time as presenting the masking noise to the non-test ear. Thus, thresholds obtained when masking has been applied, provide an accurate representation of the true hearing threshold level of the test ear. [13]
