electrodermal audiometry
A method for determining hearing thresholds in which a harmless electric shock is used to condition the subject to s pure tone, which thereafter, coupled with the anticipation of a shock, elicits a brief electrodermal response.

The lowest intensity of the sound that produces the skin response is considered the patient's hearing threshold.

screening audiometry
A rapid measurement of the hearing of an individual or a group against a predetermined limit of normality.
