Pure Tone Audiometer
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a standard hearing test used to measure an individual’s hearing sensitivity. It evaluates how well a person can hear sounds at various frequencies and intensities. During the test, the patient listens to a range of tones through headphones and responds to the faintest sounds they can hear.
PTA helps in diagnosing the degree, type, and pattern of hearing loss, whether it's conductive, sensorineural, or mixed. It is a non-invasive, painless, and highly reliable test. The results assist ENT specialists and audiologists in planning effective hearing treatments or recommending hearing aids.
BERA Machine
A BERA Machine is a specialized medical device used to perform Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry tests. It records the brain’s electrical activity in response to sound stimuli to assess hearing and nerve function. This machine is essential for diagnosing hearing issues in newborns, infants, and non-responsive patients. It offers accurate, non-invasive, and painless hearing evaluation.
Laryngeal Stroboscope Machine
A Laryngeal Stroboscope Machine is an advanced diagnostic device used to evaluate the movement and function of the vocal cords. It uses a strobe light combined with a camera to create a slow-motion visualization of vocal cord vibrations, allowing detailed examination of voice production. This technique helps in diagnosing various voice disorders such as vocal cord nodules, polyps, cysts, laryngitis, and vocal cord paralysis.
The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and performed during a simple outpatient visit. It provides ENT specialists and voice therapists with precise insights into vocal fold behavior, which is crucial for designing effective treatment plans. The machine plays a vital role in managing hoarseness, chronic voice changes, and professional voice care.
