What are Pure Tone and Speech Audiometry?

Pure tone audiometry, also known as a tonal audiogram, and speech audiometry, or vocal audiogram, are essential hearing tests that assess different aspects of your auditory health. Pure tone audiometry measures your sensitivity to various sound frequencies, mapping your hearing threshold to detect any deficits. Speech audiometry evaluates your ability to understand spoken words, especially in different volumes and environments, providing a complete view of your communication abilities.

Professional Advice

Have a question about audiometry?

Whether you’re exploring our bespoke services, our approach, or how we can elevate your hearing experience, here are answers to the questions we’re asked most often.

Early detection of hearing issues allows for timely intervention, preventing further deterioration and improving quality of life. These tests help identify specific hearing deficits, guiding appropriate treatment or management strategies.

Individuals experiencing difficulty understanding conversations, especially in noisy environments, or those noticing a decline in hearing clarity should consider these assessments. Regular testing is also beneficial for adults over 50, as age-related hearing loss is common.

No special preparation is needed. It’s advisable to avoid exposure to loud noises before the test to ensure accurate results. If you use hearing aids, bring them along, but you’ll remove them during the assessment. Feel free to ask our audiologists any questions to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.

During pure tone audiometry, you’ll wear headphones and listen to tones at different pitches and volumes, indicating when you hear each sound. In speech audiometry, you’ll repeat words presented at various loudness levels, sometimes with background noise. Both tests are non-invasive, painless, and typically completed within 30 minutes.

Our audiologists will discuss your results in detail, explaining any identified hearing issues and recommending suitable interventions, which may include hearing aids, therapy, or preventive measures. We ensure you have a clear understanding of your hearing health and the next steps.
