Sound Treated Audiology Room

At CAPAAR Hearing Solutions – which is one of the Best Hearing Solutions in Bangalore, an innovative Audiology Room is constructed that would suit all the purposes of Audiological Assessments & Measurements. The sound treated room provides an excellent acoustic characteristics, such that its walls, ceiling, floors & doors provide an outstanding Noise Reduction Effects. It is constructed with an integrated system of laboratory & filed tested components, with acoustic panels encapsuling all the sides of the room.

At CAPAAR Hearing Solutions – which is one of the Best Hearing Solutions in Bangalore, this sound treated room is a two-room structural design (a double room design). These two rooms consists of the patient room (testee room) and the control room (tester room). The patient room is sufficiently larger to accommodate sound filed testing and pediatric testing. The tester room is large enough to accommodate all the equipments required for the assessment with necessary seated spacing for the examiner and an observer to move around freely. At CAPAAR Hearing Solutions – which is one of the Best Hearing Solutions in Bangalore, the sound treatment of Audiology Room is as per ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards, meeting ANSI S1 1999 specifications on Acoustics and ANSI/ASA S3.1-1999 (R 2008) on Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels inside the room. The sound treated suite at CAPAAR Hearing Solutions – which is one of the Best Hearing Solutions in Bangalore, is an ideal double room suite that encloses Single Wall Control Room and a Double Wall Exam Room; constructed with premium 4 inch thick (102 mm) acoustic panels. Double wall contains two layers of 102 mm think acoustic panels. The double walls are constructed such that there prevails dead air space between the two layers so as to ensure greater sound isolation. Thus the acoustic panels not only provide impressive sound isolation to the suite, but also act as an effective Sound Retardant and Sound Absorbent systems. Further these panels are treated to the extent of being Mildew Resistent and Vermin proof.

In the sound treated suite, every aspect of interior design is taken care of, with attractive carpets, LED lightings, air conditioned ventilation, attractive fabric wall coverings (also enhances the noise reduction property); thus creating a very conducive environment in which the patients would certainly feel at ease.

The unique construction of the structural design for the Audiology Test Suite makes it in compliance with all the international standards empowering CAPAAR Audiology Suite equally competent for meeting all the clinical needs.

Hearing TESTs

At CAPAAR Hearing Solutions – which is one of the Best Hearing Solutions in Bangalore used to carry out these different tests to find one’s hearing loss. Audiometry An audiometry is a test which will help to find your ability to hear the sounds. The sounds are basically varies based on their loudness (intensity) and the speed of the sound wave vibrations (tone). Hearing occurs when sound waves stimulate the nerves of the inner ear. The sound then travels along nerve pathways to the brain. Sound waves can travel to the inner ear through the ear canal, eardrum, and bones of the middle ear (air conduction). They can also pass through the bones around and behind the ear (bone conduction).

Pure tone testing (Audiogram)

The pure tone audiometry is a behavioral test used to measure the hearing loss. This test is used to identify the hearing threshold levels of a person, enabling determination of the degree, type and the configuration of the hear loss. Pure tone audiometry is a subjective, behavioral measurement of a hearing threshold, as it completely relies on the patient’s responses to the pure tone stimuli.

Speech Audiometry

Speech Audiometry is a method of measuring the patient’s ability to understand, recognize and to discriminate the speech. This assesses the patient’s ability to hear and comprehend spoken words. It will be charted on an audiogram that measures the decibel level, frequency and gravity of the hearing loss. The different test procedures under this are Speech Recognition Test (SRT), Speech Discrimination Scores (SDS), Performance Intensity Function or Phonetically Balanced Words (PIPB), Roll Over Index (ROI) & Speech in Noise Tests etc.

Special Tests

These are conclusive low cost traditional test procedures performed for the differential diagnosis of various inner ear disorders. These tests, individually or in correlation, aid in the detection of specific site of lesion in the sensory neural pathway. These test procedures which includes Short Increment Sensitive Index Test (SISI), Tone Decay Test (TDT), Alternate Binaural Loudness Balance Test (ABLB), Supra Threshold Adaptation Test (STAT) etc.,

Special Procedural Tests of Hearing

These are special procedures which includes Bekesy Audiometry – employs an automatic mode of hearing threshold determination; Tinnitus Matching – employed to approximately match the tinnitus frequency; and the TEN Test – employed to find the cochlear dead regions

Impedance Audiometry / Immittance Audiometry

Impedance audiometry or Immittance audiometry is an assessment method based on the measurement of the pressure in the middle ear, stapedius reflexes and the tension of the tympanic membrane. By increasing the acoustic pressure in the external ear canal, impedance audiometry measures the sum of the resistance which the sound wave encounters on its way through the middle ear to the cochlear receptor. The impedance audiometry evaluates the middle ear system and it is one of the most common and most accurate methods for testing the middle ear.

Speech Language Evaluation

CAPAAR the Best Speech and Language Therapy in Bangalore assess speech, language, cognitive-communication, and oral/feeding/swallowing skills to identify types of communication problems and the best way to treat them.
