Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)

Accurate Hearing Testing for Better Diagnosis

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is one of the most common and reliable hearing tests used to measure your ability to hear sounds at different frequencies and volumes. It helps identify the type and degree of hearing loss, allowing audiologists to recommend the most appropriate treatment. At Geetha Hearing and Speech Clinic, we perform PTA using advanced audiometric equipment to ensure accurate and dependable results.

Who Should Undergo a PTA Test?

A Pure Tone Audiometry test is recommended for anyone experiencing hearing difficulties or those who require a routine hearing assessment. Early diagnosis helps prevent communication challenges and supports timely treatment.

You may need a PTA test if you:

  • Have difficulty hearing conversations
  • Frequently increase the TV or phone volume
  • Experience hearing loss in one or both ears
  • Have ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Are exposed to loud noise at work or home
  • Need a hearing evaluation before hearing aid fitting

How is the Test Performed?

The PTA test is simple, painless, and non-invasive. During the test, you will wear headphones and listen to a series of tones at different pitches and volumes. You will be asked to respond whenever you hear a sound, allowing the audiologist to determine your hearing thresholds.

Benefits of Pure Tone Audiometry include:

  • Accurate diagnosis of hearing loss
  • Identifies the severity and type of hearing impairment
  • Helps plan hearing aid or rehabilitation needs
  • Monitors changes in hearing over time
  • Supports early treatment and better hearing outcomes
