What is a pilot audiometer?
The Pilot Test offers pure tone audiometry for standard testing and select picture audiometry for young children or when testing children with a disability. The goal of hearing screening is to identify children with hearing loss. The Pilot Test gives you the tools to meet the goals of your facility.

How do I test my audiometry?
A hearing test is performed in a sound proof room. You will wear headphones or earplugs connected to a device that sends sounds of different volumes and pitches to one ear at a time. You will be asked to respond by raising your hand or pressing a button each time you hear a sound.
What is select Picture audiometry?
Select Picture Audiometry is a unique approach that can screen the hearing of children as young as three years old. Select Picture Audiometry can be used to determine the “speech reception level” of children and has been an accepted screening procedure in the clinical and school settings for over 20 years.
How good does your hearing have to be to be a pilot?
The FAA standard for all classes is that an airman must hear at least 70 percent in one ear. The hearing medical standard for all classes requires that the airman be able to meet one of three different hearing tests.
How is PTA test done?
Pure-tone audiometry is the most commonly used test to measure auditory sensitivity. Pure-tone signals are delivered to the ear via air conduction and bone conduction at a variety of frequencies, and the patient responds to the sound by signaling the examiner with a button or by raising a hand.
Can a deaf person get a pilot license?
If I am deaf, can I obtain a pilot certificate? Yes, an individual who is deaf can obtain a pilot certificate in one of the five categories of aircraft: airplane, rotorcraft, glider, powered-lift, or lighter-than-air.
How is PTA audiogram calculated?
Hearing sensitivity within the speech frequencies is known as the pure-tone average (PTA) and can be calculated by adding the thresholds obtained at 500, 1000, and 2000Hz and dividing the result by 3. For audiometric results to be valid, the patient must respond to stimulation of the ear being tested.
