Audiometry baseline testing Beenleigh: Audiometry baseline testing is a vital tool for Audiologists. Audiometric tests measure how well someone can hear sound and the ambient noise level they work. Audiometers usually come with various features such as:
- Auditory brainstem response – an electrical signal generated by the auditory nerve in response to sounds presented at calibrated intensity levels
- Pure tone audiometry – A test used to determine hearing sensitivity, frequency threshold and compare these values over time
- Speech reception threshold (SRT) – The lowest decibel level that is detected 50% of the time when speech or other verbal material is presented at varying loudness levels
Audiometry tests can be conducted on adults or children aged 3-18 years old. Audiometer equipment is used for audiometric assessment, measuring how well you hear different sounds.
Audiometrists are trained professionals who conduct audiological assessments, including speech reception threshold (SRT), word recognition ability (WRA), and sentence recognition ability (SRA).
