Hearing is essential for communication, learning, and living a fulfilling life. Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals, Siruseri provides complete audiometry testing services in Chennai to children, adults, and the elderly. Our facility is equipped with the latest equipment and led by skilled audiologists, providing precise diagnosis and individualized care for hearing-related disorders.

What is Audiometry

Audiometry is a non-invasive diagnostic test that evaluates an individual's ability to hear sounds at various frequencies and intensities. It is used to detect hearing loss, assess hearing acuity, and diagnose conditions affecting the auditory nerve or inner ear. Audiometry helps in determining the degree, type, and configuration of hearing loss, which is essential for creating an effective treatment or rehabilitation plan.

At Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals in Siruseri, Chennai, our audiometry services are suitable for routine checkups, occupational assessments, and specific evaluations related to ENT issues or neurological disorders.

Who Should Undergo an Audiometry Test?

Audiometry is recommended in the following cases:

Individuals with sudden or gradual hearing loss
Children with delayed speech or language development
People experiencing ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Patients with ear infections, trauma, or balance issues
Workers exposed to loud noises regularly
Individuals over 60 years of age-related hearing decline
Patients referred by ENT or neurology specialists

Especially for school-going youngsters, senior folks, and people working in high-noise settings like factories or construction sites, regular hearing examinations are vital.

Types of Audiometry Tests We Offer

At our advanced audiology lab in Siruseri, we provide a full spectrum of hearing tests:

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) This standard test measures the softest level of sound a person can hear at various frequencies. It helps identify sensorineural, conductive, or mixed hearing loss.
Speech Audiometry This test evaluates how well a person can understand speech at different volumes. It includes Speech Recognition Threshold (SRT) and Word Recognition Score (WRS).
Impedance Audiometry (Tympanometry) Used to assess the middle ear function, tympanometry helps detect fluid buildup, eardrum perforation, or dysfunction of the ossicles.
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)This test evaluates the function of the outer hair cells in the cochlea, ideal for newborn hearing screening and early detection of hearing impairments.
Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA/ABR)A sophisticated test to assess the neural pathway from the ear to the brainstem, particularly helpful in infants and unresponsive patients.
Audiometry for Industrial WorkersIncludes occupational hearing assessments and certification as per industry norms, ensuring safety and compliance with workplace standards.
