1. Audiometry

   Audiometry (from Latin audīre 'to hear', and metria 'to measure') is a branch of audiology and the science of measuring hearing acuity for variations in sound intensity and pitch and for tonal purity, involving thresholds and differing frequencies. Typically, audiometric tests determine a subject's hearing levels with the help of an audiometer, but may also measure ability to discriminate between different sound intensities, recognize pitch, or distinguish speech from background noise. Acoustic reflex and otoacoustic emissions may also be measured. Results of audiometric tests are used to diagnose hearing loss or diseases of the ear, and often make use of an audiogram.

1. audiometry

   Audiometry is a branch of audiology and the science of measuring hearing acuity for variations in sound intensity and pitch, and for tonal purity, involving thresholds and differing frequencies. It is a non-invasive and painless procedure typically performed by an audiologist or trained medical professional to determine an individual's ability to hear. This information is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as hearing loss or damage.

1. Audiometry

   The testing of the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones. The frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds.
