What Is an Audiometry Test, and How Does It Help Diagnose Hearing Loss? - #15279
I recently started experiencing hearing difficulties, especially in noisy environments, and my doctor suggested an audiometry test to check my hearing levels. I’ve heard of hearing tests before, but I don’t fully understand—what exactly is an audiometry test, and how does it help diagnose hearing problems? From what I’ve read, an audiometry test measures a person’s ability to hear different frequencies and sound intensities. But what does this test actually involve? Do they use headphones and different sound tones, or is there another method to assess hearing ability? I also came across terms like air conduction and bone conduction tests—how are these different, and what do they reveal about a person’s hearing loss? Does an audiometry test help identify whether hearing loss is caused by nerve damage, infections, or blockages in the ear canal? What happens if an audiometry test shows significant hearing loss? Are there natural remedies or Ayurvedic treatments that help improve hearing health? I’ve heard that Brahmi, Ginkgo Biloba, and Ashwagandha might support nerve function and hearing clarity—do they actually work? If anyone has had an audiometry test, what was your experience like? Did the test results help diagnose your hearing condition, and what treatment options were recommended?
