What Is an Audiology Booth?
An audiology booth is a specially designed acoustic space that provides controlled conditions for hearing assessments. By reducing background noise and other external acoustic influences, it helps provide a suitable acoustic environment for consistent hearing tests. Audiology booths are used in hospitals, clinics, private ENT practices, and research environments for controlled hearing evaluation. IAC Acoustics combines decades of acoustic expertise with modern design to support the requirements of audiology environments.

What is an audiology booth used for?
An audiology booth (or audiometric sound booth) is a specially engineered, sound-attenuated enclosure designed to isolate a patient from external ambient noise and echo. By maintaining a strictly controlled acoustic environment, it prevents environmental sounds—such as HVAC noise, foot traffic, or outside conversations—from masking subtle auditory cues and triggering false-positive results. Within this soundproof setting, clinicians perform a variety of diagnostic evaluations, including pure-tone audiometry (measuring the softest sounds a person can hear across pitch frequencies), speech audiometry (assessing word recognition and speech comprehension in quiet or noisy setups), and sound-field testing to evaluate functional gain from hearing aids.
What is the difference between an audiology booth and a room?
An audiology booth is a compact, prefabricated enclosure designed primarily for standard individual hearing evaluations (such as pure-tone screenings and basic speech audiometry). Because of its smaller footprint, lower cost, and relative mobility, a booth is an efficient solution for private hearing aid clinics, schools, mobile testing vans, and industrial screening programs. In contrast, an audiology room is a full-sized, engineered architectural installation designed for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic applications. These rooms offer significantly more physical space, high-performance sound isolation (such as double-wall "room-within-a-room" construction), and custom interior configurations.
Why is acoustic control so important in an audiology room?
Acoustic control is critical in an audiology room because even low levels of background sound can mask subtle auditory stimuli, causing patients to miss faint test tones and leading to inaccurate diagnostic results. Minimizing unwanted external noise, reverberation, and structure-borne vibration ensures that hearing thresholds are measured with high precision and clinical repeatability. To guarantee valid measurements, audiology rooms must strictly comply with ISO 8253 standards, which specify Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels (MPANLs) across specific 1/3-octave frequency bands—preventing environmental noise from interfering with pure-tone, sound-field, and speech audiometry.
Where are audiology booths used?
Audiology booths are widely used in private ENT practices, audiology clinics, hospitals, and hearing aid dispensing centers to conduct precise diagnostic evaluations and fitting procedures. They are also essential in schools, industrial workplaces, and occupational health programs for routine hearing screenings and OSHA compliance. Additionally, their compact footprint makes them ideal for mobile health clinics and research facilities requiring reliable acoustic isolation on the go.
How much does an audiology booth cost?
Compact, single-wall screening booths typically sit on the lower end of that spectrum, while double-wall diagnostic suites and larger modular models cost significantly more. Because installation fees, freight, custom dimensions, and integrated features.
What is an audiology booth called?
An audiology booth is known by several common names across the medical, industrial, and acoustic industries. Most frequently, it is referred to as an audiometric booth, audiology sound booth, audiometric sound booth, or audiometric test booth. In broader clinical contexts, you may also see it called simply a sound booth, sound-attenuated booth, or audiometric isolation room. Larger, custom architectural variants are often referred to as an audiology room, audiometric test room, or audiology/audiometric chamber. Regardless of the exact terminology used during your search, all of these terms refer to engineered, sound-controlled enclosures built to minimize background noise and ensure accurate, standardized hearing evaluations.
Is it possible to relocate older IAC audiology booths?
Yes. We continue to support the relocation, refurbishment, and modernization of all IAC models, including discontinued 400A and 1200A booths
