2013年1月1日 · Audiograms are created by plotting the thresholds at which a patient can hear various frequencies. Hearing loss can be divided into two categories: conductive or sensorineural. The results of an audiogram can help direct medical and surgical interventions to improve and/or preserve hearing function.

2023年3月1日 · The audiogram quantifies and visually displays a patient's degree and type of hearing loss (sensorineural, conductive, or mixed). Furthermore, various etiologies of hearing loss may demonstrate characteristic patterns on the audiogram, making this testing modality critical for diagnostic purposes.

2023年1月10日 · If there is hearing loss, an audiogram helps distinguish conductive loss (outer/middle ear) from sensorineural loss (cochlea/cochlear nerve). 1 As well as differentiating hearing loss (conductive vs sensorineural), specific patterns seen on audiograms can aid in identifying the underlying cause of the hearing loss.

Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss. This means that there is a problem with the inner ear or the auditory nerve that affects the transmission of sound to the brain, which affect the loudness and clarity of sound.

2022年7月26日 · An audiogram can diagnose your hearing loss and indicate what type of hearing loss you have. It can distinguish your hearing in each ear and whether you have hearing loss on one or both sides.

Sensorineural hearing losses can be further divided into sensory and neural losses. A sensory (cochlear) hearing loss occurs when the damage to the auditory system is located within the cochlea. Noise induced and age related hearing losses are typically sensory in nature.

2023年9月29日 · Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss and is caused by issues related to your inner ear and/or your auditory nerve. On an audiogram, sensorineural hearing loss typically displays elevated threshold levels for both air conduction (X) and bone conduction (>), with minimal or no air-bone gap present. Conductive Hearing ...

2024年5月14日 · Audiogram interpretation is crucial for an audiologist to be able to recommend appropriate hearing loss interventions. The results provide a basis for diagnosis, reassurance, monitoring, or further investigation of any ear concerns.

Impedance testing is crucial in distinguishing a conductive loss from a sensorineural hearing loss. A typical tympanometry result indicates the ear canal volume (cm3), the max pressure (daPa) and the peak compliance (ml). An audiogram represents an individual’s hearing ability by frequency (pitch) and intensity (volume).

2024年7月6日 · Understanding and Supporting Children with Sensorineural Hearing Loss. A sensorineural loss occurs when the inner ear is not properly receiving sounds. Your child’s audiogram would indicate an air conduction threshold and bone conduction threshold with the same amount of hearing loss.
