Pure Tone Testing
Pure tone testing is a fundamental component of hearing assessment, providing valuable insights into your auditory function. At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, we offer comprehensive pure tone testing services to evaluate your hearing abilities accurately and identify any potential hearing loss or impairment.
During a pure tone test, you will be asked to wear headphones or insert earphones, while tones of varying frequencies and volumes are played through them. You’ll then be prompted to indicate when you hear each sound by pressing a button or raising your hand. This allows our audiologists to determine the softest tones you can hear across different frequencies, creating a detailed audiogram that maps your hearing thresholds.
Pure tone testing helps us assess the extent, type, and configuration of your hearing loss, if present. It also aids in diagnosing specific auditory conditions such as sensorineural, conductive, or mixed hearing loss, as well as monitoring changes in hearing over time.
At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment and adhere to standardized protocols to ensure accurate and reliable results. Our experienced audiologists work closely with you to explain the test procedure, answer any questions you may have, and interpret the results in the context of your overall hearing health.
If you’re experiencing changes in your hearing or suspect hearing loss, don’t wait to seek help. Contact KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic today to schedule a pure tone test and take proactive steps towards preserving your precious sense of hearing.
Audiometry
Audiometry is a vital tool in assessing hearing health, providing valuable insights into the range and sensitivity of an individual’s hearing. At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, we offer comprehensive audiometry services conducted by experienced audiologists to accurately evaluate and monitor your auditory function.
During an audiometry test, you’ll wear headphones or insert earphones, while a series of tones of varying frequencies and volumes are presented to each ear. You’ll be asked to respond whenever you hear a sound, typically by pressing a button or raising your hand. This allows our audiologists to create an audiogram, a graphical representation of your hearing thresholds across different frequencies.
Audiometry helps us determine the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies, enabling us to assess the type, degree, and configuration of any hearing loss you may have. It also aids in diagnosing specific auditory conditions, such as sensorineural, conductive, or mixed hearing loss, and provides valuable information for developing personalized treatment plans.
At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, we utilize state-of-the-art audiometry equipment and follow standardized protocols to ensure accurate and reliable results. Our compassionate audiologists take the time to explain the test procedure, address any concerns you may have, and interpret the results in the context of your overall hearing health.
If you’re experiencing changes in your hearing, have concerns about your auditory function, or simply want to monitor your hearing over time, don’t hesitate to schedule an audiometry test at KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic. Our dedicated team is here to help you preserve and optimize your precious sense of hearing.
Impedance Audiometry
Impedance audiometry, also known as tympanometry, is a specialized test used to evaluate the function of the middle ear. At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, we offer impedance audiometry services conducted by skilled audiologists to assess middle ear health accurately.
During an impedance audiometry test, a soft probe is inserted into the ear canal, and air pressure is varied to measure how the eardrum responds to changes in pressure. This allows our audiologists to assess middle ear function, detect abnormalities such as fluid buildup or eustachian tube dysfunction, and diagnose conditions like otitis media or tympanic membrane perforations.
Impedance audiometry is a quick and painless procedure that provides valuable information about middle ear health. It complements traditional audiometry by offering insights into the physiological aspects of hearing and aiding in the diagnosis and management of various ear disorders.
At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, our experienced audiologists utilize state-of-the-art impedance audiometry equipment to ensure accurate and reliable results. We strive to provide compassionate care and personalized attention to each patient, helping them understand their middle ear function and guiding them towards appropriate treatment options.
If you’re experiencing ear-related symptoms or have concerns about your middle ear health, schedule an impedance audiometry test at KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic. Our dedicated team is here to support you in maintaining optimal ear health and hearing function.
BERA (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response)
BERA, also known as Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response, is a specialized test used to evaluate the integrity of the auditory pathway from the ear to the brainstem. At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, we offer BERA testing conducted by experienced audiologists to provide comprehensive insights into auditory function.
During a BERA test, electrodes are placed on the scalp to measure the electrical activity generated by the auditory nerve and brainstem in response to sound stimuli. This allows our audiologists to assess the speed and strength of neural responses, helping to diagnose auditory nerve disorders, brainstem abnormalities, and hearing impairments in infants, children, and adults.
BERA testing is particularly useful in diagnosing auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD), which affects the transmission of sound signals from the inner ear to the brainstem. It also aids in assessing hearing thresholds in individuals who are unable to participate in traditional behavioral hearing tests, such as infants or individuals with developmental disabilities.
At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, our dedicated team utilizes state-of-the-art BERA equipment and follows standardized protocols to ensure accurate and reliable results. We provide compassionate care and support throughout the testing process, helping patients and their families understand the significance of the results and guiding them towards appropriate treatment options.
If you or your loved one are experiencing hearing-related concerns or require specialized hearing assessment, schedule a BERA test at KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic. Our expert audiologists are here to help you maintain optimal hearing health and quality of life.
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) testing is a painless and non-invasive method used to assess the function of the inner ear, specifically the cochlea. At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, we offer OAE testing conducted by skilled audiologists to provide valuable insights into hearing health.
During an OAE test, a small probe is placed in the ear canal, emitting sounds of varying frequencies. The probe then records the otoacoustic emissions produced by the inner ear in response to these sounds. These emissions, which are tiny sounds generated by the hair cells in the cochlea, provide valuable information about the health and function of the inner ear.
OAE testing is particularly useful in screening for hearing loss in newborns, infants, and individuals who may have difficulty participating in traditional behavioral hearing tests. It can also aid in the diagnosis of conditions such as auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) and help monitor changes in hearing over time.
At KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic, our experienced audiologists utilize state-of-the-art OAE equipment to ensure accurate and reliable results. We provide compassionate care and support throughout the testing process, helping patients and their families understand the significance of the results and guiding them towards appropriate treatment options.
If you have concerns about your hearing or that of your loved one, schedule an OAE test at KK Super Specialty ENT Clinic. Our expert audiologists are here to help you maintain optimal hearing health and quality of life.
