What is Pure Tone Audiometry?
How PTA Works
During the test, you’ll be seated in a quiet, soundproof room and given a comfortable pair of headphones to ensure that no outside noise interferes with the process. A series of pure tones, varying in both pitch and volume, will be played through the headphones, targeting a wide range of frequencies that the human ear can detect. These tones will range from low, deep bass sounds to high, sharp pitches, and each sound will be delivered to one ear at a time to check your hearing individually for each ear. As you listen to the tones, you’ll be asked to respond by pressing a button or signaling the audiologist whenever you hear the sound, no matter how soft or faint it may be. This response helps us determine your exact hearing threshold—the softest sound you can detect at each frequency. The test is non-invasive and only takes a few minutes. By carefully analyzing your responses, we can map out an audiogram, a visual representation of your hearing ability, which helps us identify any hearing loss or areas where your hearing may be compromised. This precise and detailed assessment enables us to provide personalized recommendations for improving your hearing, such as hearing aids or other forms of treatment, ensuring you receive the best care possible at Hearing 360.
