Pure-tone audiometry

Pure-tone audiometry is a standard hearing test used to assess an individual's hearing sensitivity across a range of frequencies. The test involves the presentation of pure tones at various frequencies (typically from 250 Hz to 8000 Hz) and loudness levels (measured in decibels, or dB). Here’s how it generally works: 1. **Test Environment**: Pure-tone audiometry is typically conducted in a quiet room or a soundproof booth to minimize background noise.
