Audiology in general, and audiometric techniques in particular, have made commendable progress in the last few decades. The threshold for pure tones and speech can be accurately established and at subsequent examinations can be confirmed or compared, with a fair amount of precision. The articulation score for phonetically balanced words can be determined and so can the effect of amplification on such scores. The conductive and the cochlear component of hearing loss can be distinguished with a fair amount of reliability from what is called the "sensorineural" or the "retrocochlear component".
