The measurement of hearing; the assessment of the sensitivity of hearing: An audiometry was recommended by the otorhinolaryngologist when Jane went to have her ears cleaned and for a regular check-up.

A method of watching or studying the motor responses of babies, less than 6 months old, to test sound intensities to determine the hearing threshold: A bahvioral obersvartion audiometry is a type of hearing measurement to test an infant's ability to recognize pitch, volume, etc.

A testing of hearing ability by frequencies and various levels of loudness by the way of an audiometer: A cortical audiometry refers to the the measurement of the potentials that arise in response to acoustic stimuli in the auditory system above the level of the brainstem.

The measurement of hearing threshold levels and other parameters: A diagnostic audiometry is used to determine the nature of conductive, sensory, neural, or mixed degrees of hearing impairment.

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.

A rapid measurement of the hearing of an individual or a group against a predetermined limit of normality: During a screening audiometry auditory responses to different frequencies at a constant intensity level are tested.
