92553
There is no specific CPT code for "Pure tone audiometry (threshold); bone only". You can use the code 92553 (Pure tone audiometry (threshold); air and bone) with modifier 52.
I think its 92552
It measures peripheral hearing loss
It measures peripheral hearing loss
Audiometry is used to compare bone and air conduction. It measures the threshold at which a person can hear pure tones through bone and air conduction. The results help diagnose hearing loss and determine the type of hearing loss present.
8Khz may need an intensity higher for people to perceive it during air conduction especially in adults, during bone conduction, an increase in intensity may provoke a tactile response and not the response from audibility.
Audiometry test is used to compare bone and air-conduction hearing. This test measures a person's hearing ability by presenting tones of various pitches and volumes through headphones or bone-conduction devices. By comparing the results of bone conduction (testing the inner ear) and air conduction (testing the outer and middle ear), healthcare providers can assess the type and degree of hearing loss a person may have.
Because bone is a denser medium, sound travels faster and stronger through it than through air. Bone conduction never gives the body time to process sound properly because the sound never hits the middle ear process where it can be filtered and buffered. Instead, the signal goes into the bone, often around the mastoid bone or the skull area, and then travels directly to the nervous system and the brain without ever being filtered or buffered.
The air chilled to the bone.
Air, fat, muscle, blood, liver, bone. The order is based on increasing radiodensity, with air being the least dense and bone being the most dense.
The type of bone that contains air spaces is called spongy or cancellous bone. This type of bone is less dense than compact bone and is characterized by a mesh-like structure that provides support while making bones lighter. Spongy bone is primarily found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of flat bones.
An air-filled bony cavity is a hollow space within a bone that contains air. These cavities are found in certain bones like the sinuses of the skull, where they help to reduce the weight of the bone and resonate sound.
