Abstract

One of the major requirements in hearing evaluation is a controlled acoustic test environment. There are different methods of constructing sound treated rooms. In addition to good design, there should be continuous supervision of the construction details. A sound treated room has been constructed at Kasturba Medical College Hospital, Manipal. This paper deals with the particulars of construction of the sound treated room. It is hoped that the particulars furnished here would be useful to those who are interested in the construction of
sound treated rooms in their speech and hearing clinics at reasonably low cost.
