PURE TONE AUDIOMETRY [ PTA ]

PTA is a fundamental test used by our experienced audiologists to evaluate the softest sounds an individual can hear across different frequencies.

What is Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)?

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures hearing sensitivity at various frequencies, ranging from low to high pitches. During the test, the individual wears headphones and responds to tones of different intensities by indicating when they hear a sound. PTA helps determine the degree, type, and configuration of hearing loss, providing valuable insights for treatment planning.

The PTA Procedure:

• Preparation: Before the PTA test, our audiologists will explain the procedure and address any concerns or questions you may have. We ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the evaluation process.
• Testing: During the test, you will be seated in a quiet room and instructed to wear headphones. Our audiologist will present tones of varying frequencies and intensities to each ear, and you will indicate when you hear the sounds by pressing a button or raising your hand.
• Results Interpretation: After completing the PTA test, our audiologist will analyze the results to assess your hearing sensitivity across different frequencies. We will explain the findings in detail, discuss any hearing loss detected, and recommend appropriate next steps based on your individual needs.

Tympanometry

We offer Tympanometry (TYMP), a valuable test that evaluates the function of the middle ear and helps identify conditions such as fluid accumulation, eardrum perforations, and abnormalities in the middle ear system.

What is Tympanometry (TYMP)?

Tympanometry (TYMP) is a painless and non-invasive diagnostic test used to assess the function of the middle ear. It measures the movement of the eardrum in response to changes in air pressure, providing valuable information about the condition of the middle ear space and the function of the eardrum and the middle ear bones.

How Does Tympanometry Work?

During a TYMP test, a soft probe is gently inserted into the ear canal. The probe creates variations in air pressure while measuring the eardrum's response. The results are recorded on a graph called a tympanogram, which displays the compliance of the eardrum at different pressure levels. This information helps our audiologists evaluate the health and function of the middle ear.

Why is Tympanometry Important?

• Otitis Media: TYMP helps detect fluid buildup in the middle ear, a common indicator of otitis media or middle ear infection.
• Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Abnormalities in the middle ear pressure may indicate dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, which can lead to discomfort and hearing difficulties.
• Eardrum Perforation: TYMP can identify perforations or abnormalities in the eardrum, which may affect hearing and require medical intervention.
• Otosclerosis: The smallest bone (Stapes) of our body inside the ear gets fixed at oval window, hence affects hearing to be transmitted to cochlea.

Schedule Your TYMP Test Today: If you are experiencing hearing difficulties or have concerns about your middle ear health, we encourage you to schedule a TYMP test at Triveni Hearing and Speech Clinic. Our dedicated team is here to provide expert care and personalized solutions to help you achieve optimal hearing health and overall well-being. Contact us today to book your appointment.

BERA [ Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry ]

We offer Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA/ABR), a specialized test that evaluates the auditory nerve and brainstem's function.

What is BERA/ABR?

Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA/ABR) is an advanced diagnostic test used to assess the auditory nerve's integrity and the brainstem's response to sound stimuli. It is a valuable tool for diagnosing hearing loss and auditory disorders, particularly in newborns, infants, and individuals who may have difficulty undergoing conventional hearing tests.

How Does BERA/ABR Work?

During a BERA/ABR test, electrodes are placed on the scalp and earlobes, and the patient wears headphones. Click sounds or tone bursts are delivered through the insert earphones/headphones, and the electrodes detect and record the electrical responses generated by the auditory nerve and brainstem. These responses are analyzed to evaluate hearing sensitivity and auditory pathway function.

Indications for BERA/ABR:

• Newborn Hearing Screening: BERA/ABR is commonly used as part of newborn hearing screening programs to identify hearing loss or auditory neuropathy in infants.
• Diagnosis of Auditory Disorders: BERA/ABR helps diagnose various auditory disorders, including auditory neuropathy, retrocochlear pathology, and central auditory processing disorders.
• Monitoring Auditory Function: BERA/ABR is used to monitor auditory nerve function during surgery, assess hearing aid or cochlear implant candidacy, and evaluate auditory function in individuals with developmental delays or neurological conditions.

Schedule Your BERA/ABR Test Today: If you or your child are experiencing hearing difficulties or have concerns about auditory function, we encourage you to schedule a BERA/ABR test at Triveni Hearing and Speech Clinic. Our dedicated team is committed to providing expert care and personalized solutions to help you achieve optimal hearing health and overall well-being. Contact us today to book your appointment.

OAE [ Otoacoustic Emissions ]

As part of our commitment to excellence, we offer Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) testing, an invaluable tool for evaluating inner ear function and identifying hearing loss.

What are Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)?

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) are faint sounds generated by the inner ear in response to external stimuli, such as sound or vibration. These emissions can be measured using specialized equipment and provide valuable insights into the health and function of the cochlea, or inner ear.

How Does OAE Testing Work?

During an OAE test, a small probe containing a microphone and speaker is gently placed in the ear canal. The probe emits a series of low-level sounds, and the microphone detects the emissions produced by the cochlea in response. These emissions are then analyzed to assess cochlear function and detect any abnormalities indicative of hearing loss.

Indications for OAE Testing:

• Newborn Hearing Screening: OAE testing is commonly used as part of newborn hearing screening programs to identify hearing loss in infants shortly after birth.
• Diagnostic Evaluation: OAE testing helps diagnose hearing loss, particularly in individuals who may have difficulty undergoing conventional hearing tests, such as infants, young children, and individuals with developmental disabilities.
• Monitoring Auditory Function: OAE testing can be utilized to monitor cochlear function over time, track changes in hearing sensitivity, and assess the effectiveness of interventions such as hearing aids or cochlear implants.

Schedule Your OAE Test Today: If you or your child are experiencing hearing difficulties or have concerns about auditory function, we encourage you to schedule an OAE test at Triveni Hearing and Speech Clinic. Our dedicated team is committed to providing expert care and personalized solutions to help you achieve optimal hearing health and overall well-being. Contact us today to book your appointment.
