What is an audiometric room?
Primarily designed for clinical applications in hospitals and universities, an audiometric room is a combination of an exam room and a control room. It provides a high degree of isolation on both sides of the double-glazed, laminated safety glass for the audiologist and for the patient.
Puretone and Sound Field (free field) audiometric practices are used to assess the hearing/hearing loss of a patient. Once a hearing loss has been identified in a patient, clinical investigations begin.
What are the conditions for good acoustics?
