About the department
Protecting yourself from ear diseases means protecting yourself from hearing loss. Early diagnosis is only possible with audiometry, and it can help prevent a person from losing their hearing. No decision on ear surgery is made without audiometry and tympanometry, because many ear conditions are treated surgically to improve hearing levels.
These tests should be performed on every patient with hearing loss or dizziness. People exposed to noise should have an audiometry test at least once a year, because noise first causes hearing loss at high-pitched sounds and, if it progresses, can lead to complete deafness.
