Automatic Audiometry - An overview

Automatic audiometry includes procedures that allow the hearing threshold to be determined with minimal operator intervention, while still ensuring accurate and reproducible results. These methods are particularly useful in clinical practice, as they standardize the testing procedure and reduce the time required for assessment, without compromising diagnostic reliability.

The two tests available are:

• Auto Threshold, which applies a modified Hughson-Westlake technique to determine pure tone thresholds automatically.
• Békésy Audiometry, which provides additional diagnostic information by comparing tracings obtained with continuous and interrupted tones, allowing classification of auditory function according to Jerger’s categories.

Both procedures are displayed in dedicated test windows, with results updated in real time and stored directly on the audiogram.
