FAQ
A Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) test is the most common hearing test used to measure auditory sensitivity. It also evaluates your ability to hear sounds at different pitches, or frequencies.
This PTA test is conducted to:
- Assess hearing sensitivity.
- Diagnose hearing loss.
- Monitor changes in hearing over time.
- Evaluate hearing before prescribing hearing aids or other treatments.
The pure tone audiometry test usually takes about 30–60 minutes to complete.
After the PTA test, your audiologist will review the results with you and discuss any findings. They may recommend further testing or treatment options, such as hearing aids or assistive listening devices.
