Audiometry (Latin audio - to hear, referring to the ability to hear, hearing + Greek metreo - to determine, measure):
- (Synonym: acumetry) - measurement of hearing acuity;
- (Synonym: threshold audiometry) - measurement of sound perception thresholds using an audiometer.
Allocate:
- Playing audiometry - a measurement method used in children; based on the use of toys, game situations, pictures, etc.;
- Suprathreshold audiometry - a measurement method using sounds whose strength is higher than the audible threshold of the subject;
- Objective audiometry (synonym: reflex audiometry) - recording of sound perception is performed according to objective indicators (galvanic skin and orienting reactions, cochleopupillary and cochleopalpebral reflexes, etc.);
- Speech audiometry - a tape recorder or audiometer is used for measurement, reproducing speech with a given sound intensity;
- Tonal audiometry - an audiometer is used for measurement, which generates clear tones of various strengths and heights;
- Noise audiometry (synonym: Langenbeck method of audiometry) - the measurement is carried out under conditions of dosed masking broadband noise ("white noise").
