PTA : (Pure Tone Audiometry):

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a standard hearing test used to assess your ability to hear various tones and frequencies. It’s a non-invasive and painless procedure performed by audiologists to identify the degree, type, and configuration of hearing loss.

IA : Impedance Audiometry,

Impedance Audiometry Test

Impedance Audiometry, also known as Immittance Audiometry, is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the condition and functionality of the middle ear. It is instrumental in identifying issues like fluid in the middle ear, eardrum perforation, or problems with the auditory nerve and pathways.

BERA TEST : Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry

Here’s a detailed overview of the Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) test, including its purpose, procedure, and interpretation of results.

What is the BERA Test?

Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) is an objective, non-invasive hearing test that measures the brain’s electrical activity in response to auditory stimuli. It is used to assess the functioning of the auditory nerve and brainstem pathways involved in hearing.

Purpose of the BERA Test:

The BERA test is primarily conducted to:

✅ Diagnose hearing loss (especially in infants and young children).
✅ Assess the integrity of the auditory pathway from the ear to the brainstem.
✅ Identify auditory neuropathy or other neurological disorders.
✅ Detect retrocochlear pathologies such as acoustic neuromas.
✅ Confirm hearing thresholds in uncooperative patients.

Advantages of the BERA Test

✅ Objective test – does not require the patient’s active participation.
✅ Useful for infants, young children, and non-cooperative patients.
✅ Detects both peripheral and central auditory issues.
✅ Highly accurate in diagnosing neurological problems.

OAE Testing : Otoacoustic Emissions

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) Testing

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) is a non-invasive hearing test that measures sound waves produced by the inner ear (cochlea) in response to an auditory stimulus. It is commonly used to screen for hearing loss in newborns, infants, and uncooperative patients.

Electrocochleography (EcochG) Test

The Electrocochleography (EcochG) test is a diagnostic hearing test that measures electrical activity in the inner ear (cochlea) and auditory nerve in response to sound stimuli. It is primarily used to diagnose Meniere’s disease, endolymphatic hydrops, and other inner ear disorders.
