Area of Science:

Audiology
Otorhinolaryngology
Neuroscience

Background:

Current audiological diagnostics rely on a wide array of hearing tests.
These tests address diverse malfunctions of the auditory system across all ages.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective medical or prosthetic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of the current methods used in audiological functional diagnostics.
To systematically present subjective and objective audiological tests.
To highlight the comprehensive nature of available diagnostic tools for the auditory system.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of audiological diagnostic methods.
Categorization into subjective (psychoacoustic) and objective (physical measurement) procedures.
Detailed description of various tests including pure tone threshold, speech audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflex, otoacoustic emissions, and auditory evoked potentials.

Main Results:

The current inventory of audiological tests covers a broad spectrum of functional deficits.
Both basic and complex special techniques are available for practical use.
While gaps exist, the methods provide essential information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Conclusions:

The described audiological methods are fundamental for identifying the nature, origin, and extent of hearing loss.
These diagnostics form the basis for treatment decisions, hearing aid provision, and disability assessment.
The current diagnostic armamentarium is largely comprehensive for clinically relevant auditory system deficits.
