Pure tone audiometry is the most commonly administered test for patients. This test aims to determine hearing thresholds and sensitivity at frequencies important for communication. Short bursts of pure tones at different pitches and intensities are presented to each ear. The patient is instructed to press a button when they hear the sound. Once hearing thresholds are determined, they are plotted on an audiogram. Air and bone conduction measurements are taken for each ear separately. The results allow for easy identification of the type, location, and degree of hearing loss in each ear.
