Pure Tone Audiometry

What is PTA?

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a basic hearing test that checks how well a person can hear different sounds.
It helps find out if someone has hearing loss and how mild or severe it is.

How is the Test Done?

During the test:

  1. You sit in a quiet room

  2. Headphones are placed on your ears

  3. You hear beeps or tones at different volumes and pitches

  4. You press a button or raise your hand whenever you hear the sound

There is no pain, no discomfort—just listening carefully.

  • How well each ear hears

  • If hearing loss is mild, moderate, severe, or profound
