2. Real ear measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_ear_measurement

   Real ear measurement is the measurement of sound pressure level in a patient's ear canal developed when a hearing aid is worn. It is measured with the use of a silicone probe tube inserted in the canal connected to a microphone outside the ear and is done to verify that the hearing aid is providing suitable amplification for a patient's hearing loss.

   Wearing or inserting the hearing protection device correctly so it seals the wearer's ear canal, using the "roll-pull-hold" method for foam earplugs, and ensuring earmuffs create an unbroken seal around each ear. [7] Fit-testing hearing protection can facilitate an appropriate choice of hearing protection, and allow for the professional ...

4. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

   Pure-tone audiometry provides ear specific thresholds, and uses frequency specific pure tones to give place specific responses, so that the configuration of a hearing loss can be identified. As pure-tone audiometry uses both air and bone conduction audiometry, the type of loss can also be identified via the air-bone gap .

6. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

   The severity of a hearing loss is ranked according to ranges of nominal thresholds in which a sound must be so it can be detected by an individual. It is measured in decibels of hearing loss, or dB HL. The measurement of hearing loss in an individual is conducted over several frequencies, mostly 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz. The hearing ...

7. Hearing test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_test

   A complete hearing evaluation involves several other tests as well. [5] In order to determine what kind of hearing loss is present, a bone conduction hearing test is administered. In this test, a vibrating tuning fork is placed behind the ear, on the mastoid process. When the patient can no longer feel/hear the vibration, the tuning fork is ...
