Concerned about your hearing? Claris Hospital Chhindwara offers a comprehensive range of audiometry services to assess your hearing health. Audiometry is a painless, non-invasive test performed by a qualified audiologist. It measures your ability to hear sounds at different volumes and frequencies. This simple test plays a vital role in diagnosing various hearing problems, including conductive hearing loss (where sound waves have difficulty reaching the inner ear), sensorineural hearing loss (caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve), and mixed hearing loss (a combination of both).
There are several reasons why you might need an audiometry test. If you’re experiencing hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), or dizziness, an audiometry test can help pinpoint the cause. It’s also recommended if you have a history of ear infections or exposure to loud noises. Additionally, audiometry can be part of a routine checkup or if you’re taking medications that could potentially affect your hearing.
