Speech Audiometry
Speech Audiometry is a crucial diagnostic test used to assess an individual's ability to hear and understand speech. At Mythri Speech & Hearing Center, we offer comprehensive Speech Audiometry services conducted by our experienced audiologists. With advanced equipment and specialized techniques, we can accurately evaluate your speech perception and develop tailored treatment plans to address your specific needs.
What is Speech Audiometry?
Understanding how well you can perceive and process speech at different volume levels
Speech Audiometry evaluates how well an individual can understand and repeat speech at different volume levels. During the test, you will be asked to listen to a series of recorded words or sentences and repeat them back. The audiologist will measure your speech recognition threshold (the softest level of speech you can understand) and your word recognition score (the percentage of words correctly repeated).
This test helps determine the impact of hearing loss on your ability to understand speech. It provides valuable information that pure-tone testing alone cannot reveal, offering insights into how you process speech in real-world listening environments.
Why It Matters
Speech Audiometry provides crucial insights into your real-world communication abilities, helping our specialists develop targeted treatment plans that address your specific challenges.
