This key hearing test involves listening to frequency-specific tones and signaling when they are audible, aiding in determining “hearing thresholds” crucial for understanding the severity of hearing loss. Both air and bone conduction audiometry help pinpoint whether the hearing loss is “sensorineural” or “conductive,” providing valuable insights for tailored treatment options.
An extension of the hearing check is also marked on an audiogram, pure tone audiometry involves listening to a range of beeps and whistles, called pure tones, and signaling when you can hear them.
Air Conduction – is measured by pure tones played through headphones. The sounds go via the air, down the ear canal, through the middle ear, and to the very delicate cochlea in the inner ear.
Bone Conduction – tests the sensitivity of the cochlea by placing a small vibrator on the mastoid bone behind the ear. Bypassing the middle ear sounds travel through the bones of the skull to the cochlea and hearing nerves. Both air and bone conduction tests will indicate if hearing loss stems from the inner, middle, or outer ear in technical terms sensorineural or conductive hearing loss.
