Question 2

What do I need to know before a Audiometry?

Accepted Answer

• **Definition:** A painless test that evaluates the ability to hear different sounds, tones, and frequencies using special headphones.
• **Fasting:** No fasting necessary. You can eat your usual food and drink water or liquids completely normally before coming for the test.
• **Medication:** You should maintain and take your usual medication at the times that correspond to you. There are no drug restrictions for this exam, but remember that any doubt about your treatment should always be consulted with your doctor.
• **Clothing and Accessories:** We recommend wearing comfortable clothing. Although there are no strict restrictions for the body, it is very important that you remove large earrings, glasses, headbands, hats, or any accessory on the ears and head that can interfere with the airtight fit of the headphones.
• **Specific Requirements:** The most important requirement is to avoid exposure to very loud noises (such as concerts, loud music with headphones, or heavy machinery) during the 12 to 16 hours before the study, as this could fatigue your ear and alter the results. If you use hearing aids for deafness, take them with you to the appointment, as the specialist will indicate at what point you should remove them.
• **Expected discomfort or pain from the test:** It is a completely safe, non-invasive procedure and causes no pain. You will not feel physical discomfort. The only effort required will be to maintain concentration in silence inside a small soundproof booth, paying close attention to press a button or raise your hand every time you hear a beep, even if it sounds very quiet.
