An audiometry examination is a non-invasive, painless hearing test that assesses a person's ability to distinguish between different sounds. Patients with an ear tumor or a tumor in the vicinity of the ear may be subjected to audiometry testing to see if they have developed hearing loss or to keep a close eye on their hearing both before and after surgery. Several tests, including pure tone audiometry, may be conducted during an audiometry examination.
A pure tone audiometry test measures the softest or least detectable sound that a person can hear. Patients will wear headsets, and sounds are played to one ear at a time during the exam. Patients will be prompted to raise their hands, utter a word, or click a button when they hear a sound.
