Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)

Pure Tone Audiometry is a critical diagnostic hearing test that measures the softest level of sound an individual can hear across a range of frequencies. This test helps to identify the type and degree of hearing loss, making it essential for both children and adults experiencing hearing difficulties.

At SMART Hearing & Child Development Center (SHCDC), located in Madinaguda, we offer comprehensive Pure Tone Audiometry services performed by experienced audiologists. Our state-of-the-art facility provides accurate and reliable assessments to ensure the best hearing care for your loved ones.

What is Pure Tone Audiometry?

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a painless, non-invasive test where sounds at different pitches and volumes are played through headphones. The patient responds by indicating when they hear the sound, allowing the audiologist to determine their hearing thresholds at various frequencies. This test helps to:
- Diagnose the degree of hearing loss (mild, moderate, severe, or profound)
- Identify whether the hearing loss is conductive, sensorineural, or mixed
- Formulate a personalized treatment plan, including the use of hearing aids or other interventions

Who Needs Pure Tone Audiometry?

Pure Tone Audiometry is essential for anyone experiencing hearing issues. It is particularly beneficial for:
- Children with suspected hearing loss
- Adults who have trouble hearing in noisy environments
- Individuals experiencing tinnitus or vertigo
- Anyone exposed to high noise levels or who has a history of ear infections

The PTA Procedure

During the test, the patient is seated in a soundproof room. Headphones deliver various sounds at different frequencies and volumes. The patient presses a button or raises their hand when they hear the sound. The audiologist records these responses to generate an audiogram, a visual chart of the patient’s hearing levels. This audiogram helps guide further treatment, such as the fitting of hearing aids or recommending other hearing therapies.
