When we test the listening level, we often do different listening tests for different people. Let's take a look at the main listening test methods. Listening test can be divided into subjective listening test and objective listening test. What are the common listening test methods?

What are the common listening test methods?

Subjective listening test is to let the subjects express the sound signal subjectively, or to judge by the auditory behavior of the subjects. Subjective audiometry is a kind of audiometry which depends on subjective judgment. The test results are easily affected by various factors, such as psychological factors, environmental factors and self factors. Therefore, testers should pay more attention to skills and strive for accurate test results.

Pure tone audiometry is the most basic and preferred method of hearing test. It can quantitatively diagnose hearing loss and reflect the whole auditory pathway from the external ear to the auditory center. It is one of the subjective behavioral audiometry that can accurately reflect the hearing sensitivity. Including pure tone air conduction hearing threshold test and pure tone bone conduction hearing threshold test.

Visual reinforcement audiometry is to establish directional conditioned reflex of hearing and light for children, that is, to give photoelectric toys to reward when giving sound signal, so that children can cooperate to complete the hearing test. Visual reinforcement audiometry can provide evidence for hearing loss and hearing compensation level of children.

matters needing attention

Of course, the hearing test is far more than the three mentioned above, which is now the most commonly used hearing test. In the listening test, the combination of subjective and objective multi test methods can make the final test results more accurate.
