Isn't this covered in the "Pure Tone Audiometry" entry?

If you mean the entire article, Pure tone audiometry is a sub-category of audiometry. If there is any confusion then the articles should be adjusted to reflect theses definitions. I have already updated the audiometrist page so I will have a look at this. Jodon1971 (talk) 11:15, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At first glance it seems much of the article on Pure tone audiometry should in fact be under Audiometry, as pure tone audiometry is only a specific type of audiometry. Much of the information given in the PTA article is not specific to PTA and is generally covered under Audiometry. It looks like both pages will require extensive modification in order to accommodate the correct definition. Alternatively it might be easier simply to retitle the PA page as Audiometry and make some minor additions, i.e. types, etc. and leave it at that. Audiology is the science of hearing, audiometry is the science of the measurement of hearing, and puretone audiometry is a specific type of measurement. I make my living as an audiometrist and I've also updated the incorrect definition used on that page previously. Jodon1971 (talk) 17:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the term distinguished speech ( link to Interpersonal communication in the fourth line of the lead section ) should be replaced by distinguish speech as it seems more appropriate in the given context

ICD-10-PCS codes

Whilst I'm confident in the codes I've put, the actual range at F13Z may be wider. (I'm not an audiologist, and ICD-10-PCS is not used in the UK.)

(Also, the current ICD10 template used in the infobox links to the WHO website. I'll start a conversation for changing this over at Template:infobox medical intervention.) Little pob (talk) 23:27, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm new to Wikipedia. I have prepared a new information for this article. Please check if this information can be added to the article or if additional changes are needed. Thank you!

There are special mobile applications that help user to test his hearing, as well as hearing aid applications, which also include a hearing test^[1]^[2].

Following table show differences between independent audiometric testing using mobile application from traditional tone audiometry:


	Mobile application for hearing test	Traditional audiometry
Tonal signal reproduction sequence	125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz ^[3]^[1]	1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, 500 Hz, 250 Hz, 125 Hz, 1 kHz (repeated)^[4]
Tone generation method	Automatically controlled by the application. Tone intensity is linearly increased until the moment when the intelligibility threshold is fixed by the testee^[1]	Controlled by the audiologist. The tone is reproduced for some time with same intensity, if the patient does not hear it, tone intensity is increased manually at 5 dB intervals^[4]
Location	With low level of noise pollution^[1]	Conducted in a soundproof room intended for this type of examinations^[4]^[5]
Equipment	Smartphone/tablet with installed application or HA application, headphones/headset^[1]^[2]	Specialized equipment (audiometer, special headphones, etc.), conforming to the ISO 8253-1 standards^[4]^[5]
Participation of audiologist	Not required^[1]^[2]	Audiometry is conducted under the guidance of an audiologist^[4]^[5]
Duration of the test	About 5 minutes^[1]^[2]	Up to 1 hour^[3]
Reliability of the test	Sufficient to detect an impairment^[1]^[2]	High^[4]

I oppose that addition. The Russian sources deal with specific devices, not with app audiometry in general, and using them to imply that all app audiometry is of the same quality is misrepresenting them. As was noted at Talk:Hearing, the sources (as far as I can assess them) also don't meet the standard of WP:MEDRS: They are individual studies, two by the same people. There's also an element of WP:SYN since the sources don't make the comparison that the table suggests. Also, while non-English sources are permissible, English sources are preferred if available. I find it hard to believe that there are no English sources discussing the quality of audiometry apps. Huon (talk) 20:03, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
