Description

Audiometry by Dr. Swapna Patil Audiometry is a safe, painless, and accurate hearing test used to evaluate a person's hearing ability and detect the type and severity of hearing loss. It plays a vital role in diagnosing hearing disorders and helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Early hearing assessment can improve communication, prevent further hearing deterioration, and enhance overall quality of life. Dr. Swapna Patil, an experienced ENT Specialist with over 15 years of expertise, provides comprehensive evaluation of hearing-related problems. She recommends audiometry for patients experiencing hearing difficulties, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, recurrent ear infections, or any condition that may affect hearing. Based on the test results, she develops a personalized treatment plan and, if required, advises medical treatment, hearing rehabilitation, or hearing aid solutions. During an audiometry test, the patient listens to sounds of different frequencies and volumes through headphones in a quiet environment. The test measures how well each ear hears and helps identify conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss. The procedure is non-invasive, comfortable, and suitable for both adults and children.
