What is an "audiometer"?
An audiometer is a medical device used to measure a person's ability to hear sounds. It works by producing sounds at different frequencies and volumes, which the individual responds to if they can hear it or not. Audiometers are essential tools in diagnosing hearing loss and figuring out the extent and type of hearing problems a person may have. They are commonly used by healthcare professionals to perform hearing tests and recommend appropriate treatments such as hearing aids or therapies.
