Audiometry Ultrasound

Ultrasound audiometry is a differential diagnostic method that is used to determine damage to the sound-conducting (auditory canal) and sound-receiving (auricle and eardrum) apparatus of the ear. This method is based on the study of human perception of ultrasonic waves, which can penetrate the bone and tissue of the ear with varying degrees of absorption.

Ultrasound audiometry can be used to diagnose various ear diseases such as otitis media, sensorineural hearing loss and others. It can also help determine the extent of your hearing loss and determine the most effective treatment.

To carry out ultrasound audiometry, a special device is used - an ultrasonic audiometer. It generates ultrasound waves of varying frequencies and intensities, and then measures the time it takes for the waves to reach the patient's ear and be perceived by the patient's auditory system. The results of the study can be presented in the form of a graph that shows which ultrasound frequencies are perceived by a patient with varying degrees of hearing loss.

It is important to note that ultrasound audiometry is not a replacement for conventional audiometry, which uses sound frequencies. It can only be used to diagnose diseases associated with high-frequency hearing loss.

In general, ultrasound audiometry is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the ear and auditory system. It allows you to obtain more accurate data on the condition of the patient’s auditory system, which can help the doctor choose the most effective treatment method and prevent the development of complications.

Ultrasound audiometry

Audiometry is a method of measuring auditory hearing that is used to diagnose and treat diseases of the ear system. It is one of the most accurate and effective diagnostic methods, since it allows you to determine the level of the sound signal that is perceived by the auditory nerve and brain. In this article we will look at the ultrasound type of audiometry
