AAMA CMA Practice Question

A 62-year-old patient presents with difficulty hearing high-frequency sounds. The medical assistant is tasked with performing an audiometric exam. What is the primary purpose of using pure tone audiometry in this scenario?

  • To determine the patient's ability to perceive changes in the loudness of sounds across different frequencies

  • To measure the patient's hearing sensitivity for standardized pitches and determine the threshold for hearing across a range of frequencies

  • To assess the patient's speech recognition threshold and ability to distinguish between speech sounds

  • To evaluate the structural integrity of the patient's middle ear components, including the tympanic membrane and ossicles
