WHAT DOES AUDIOMETRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

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. 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.

Definition of audiometry in the English dictionary

The definition of audiometry in the dictionary is the scientific study of the intensity and frequency range of sound that is capable of detection by the human ear.
