Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) Price in Bangladesh

What is Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)?

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a hearing test used to assess an individual's ability to hear sounds at various frequencies. During the test, the patient wears headphones while listening to pure tones (beeps) at different pitches and volumes.

The audiologist gradually lowers the sound level until the patient can no longer hear it, determining the quietest sound they can hear at each frequency. PTA helps diagnose the degree, type, and pattern of hearing loss.

It is commonly used to assess conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss. Results are typically displayed on an audiogram, aiding in the development of an appropriate treatment plan.

What to expect & how to prepare

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) result rather than self-diagnosing.
