What is Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)? 🤔
👂 PTA is the most common hearing test to evaluate hearing at several set frequencies. A tone is presented to one or both ears of the patient.
🔊 The sound stimulus’ intensity at various frequencies is changed by the tester. The response of the patient when hearing the sound is recorded.
📈 Thanks to PTA the patient’s hearing threshold can be measured and the test results give in form of an audiogram information to determine if a referral is required for a further treatment.
🌟 As PTA is an important hearing test method for school nurses, ENTs and audiologists, we have developed this test method feature also for the MAICO easyTone tablet audiometer. Thanks to this upgrade easyTone is now the best choice for all hearing screening programs.
