It feels good to hear others clearly! It helps us to communicate well and builds bridges with our family, friends and colleagues. A healthy human ear can hear quiet sounds such as whispers, and these are about 20dB. While music from a live gig can be as loud as 110dB! Before I forget to tell you, sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB)!
So how do you know that you are hearing well?
An audiometry exam tests how well your hearing functions. It tests the intensity and the tone of sounds and other issues related to the function of the outer, middle & inner ear and brain. Specifically relating to hearing!
One of the most common tests is a Pure Tone Test (PTA) which measures the quietest sound you can hear at different frequencies. It consists of an audiologist using a calibrated machine that plays sounds via headphones while observing your responses. This test doesn’t cause pain or discomfort and takes about approximately 30 minutes to perform.
