Free Field Audiometry

Free Field Audiometry is a hearing test conducted using speakers instead of headphones, allowing sound to be presented in an open environment. This method is especially useful for patients who cannot wear headphones, such as young children or individuals with certain ear conditions. It also helps evaluate hearing performance in a more natural listening setting.

The test is conducted in a sound-treated room where sounds are delivered through calibrated speakers. It is often used to assess the benefit of hearing aids or other hearing devices. Free Field Audiometry provides valuable insights into how well a person can hear in real-world situations. Our audiologists use this test to better understand functional hearing ability and recommend suitable solutions for improved communication.
