What is Audiology?
Audiology is the science that deals with hearing and balance, focusing on the assessment, diagnosis, and management of auditory and vestibular disorders. It plays a crucial role in detecting conditions like conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, presbycusis, and noise-induced hearing loss.
Audiology also includes understanding and interpreting hearing tests such as tuning fork tests, pure tone audiometry, impedance audiometry, BERA, OAE, and speech audiometry.
Here you’ll find well-structured notes on:
- Basics of hearing and sound transmission
- Tuning fork tests (Rinne, Weber, Absolute Bone Conduction)
- Audiogram interpretation and types of hearing loss
- Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)
- Impedance Audiometry
- Speech audiometry
- Otoacoustic emissions (OAE)
- Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA)
- Electronystagmography (ENG)
- Short Increment Sensitivity Index (SISI)
- Recruitment
- Screening tests in neonates
- Hearing aids and cochlear implants
