Definition of 'acoutemeter'

The Standard Electrical Dictionary

1. acoutemeter
A Hughes audiometer or sonometer applied to determining the quality of a person's hearing (See Hughes' Induction Balance,--Audiometer). The central coil by means of a tuning fork and microphone with battery receives a rapidly varying current tending to induce currents in the other two coils. Telephones are put in circuit with the latter and pick up sound from them. The telephones are applied to the ears of the person whose hearing is to be tested. By sliding the outer coils back and forth the intensity of induction and consequent loudness of the sounds in the telephones is varied. The position when the sounds grow so faint as to be no longer audible, gives the degree of delicacy of the person's hearing. By using a single telephone the same apparatus affords a means of testing the relative capacity of the right and left ears.
