Hearing Test (Pure Tone Audiometry) in Chembur, Mumbai
Hearing clearly is essential for everyday communication and overall quality of life. If you often ask people to repeat themselves, struggle to follow conversations, or need to increase the TV volume, it may be time for a professional hearing assessment.
A Hearing Test, also known as Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), measures your hearing across different frequencies and sound levels. It helps identify the presence, type, and severity of hearing loss, allowing the audiologist to recommend the most suitable hearing care.
“Understanding your hearing ability is the first step towards better hearing. A proper evaluation helps identify the right solution for your individual needs.”
– Rama Vaidyanathan, Audiologist, Chembur, Mumbai

Air Conduction and Bone Conduction Testing
A Hearing Test (Pure Tone Audiometry) is simple, painless, and completely safe. During the assessment, you will wear headphones in a quiet room while sounds of different frequencies and loudness are played separately into each ear. You simply indicate whenever you hear a sound, and your responses are recorded on an audiogram.
The hearing assessment generally includes two important tests.
Air Conduction Testing
Air Conduction Testing measures how sound travels through the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear using headphones or insert earphones. This helps determine your overall hearing sensitivity across different sound frequencies.
Bone Conduction Testing
Bone Conduction Testing evaluates the inner ear by transmitting sound vibrations through a small device placed behind the ear. Since the sound bypasses the outer and middle ear, it helps identify whether hearing loss originates from the inner ear or another part of the hearing system.
By comparing the results of Air Conduction and Bone Conduction Testing, the audiologist can determine whether the hearing loss is:
- Conductive Hearing Loss
- Sensorineural Hearing Loss
- Mixed Hearing Loss
These findings help recommend the most appropriate hearing care or hearing aid solution.
