Audiometry, simply put, is the name given to the test used to assess how well you can hear. It measures your ability to hear sounds based on their loudness and the speed of sound wave vibrations. It measures how well your ears hear through both air and bone conduction. Ensuring your ears hear well is a significant factor affecting quality of life. Hearing loss can be congenital, influenced by genetic factors, or acquired later in life due to various conditions such as ear infections, exposure to loud noises, ruptured eardrums, and inner ear diseases. The ear perceives all sounds via both air and bone conduction.
