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").

Adrenergic receptors (lat.adrenalis - adrenal; lat.ad- - at + ren - kidney + receptor - receiving; synonym: adrenergic receptors, adrenoreactive structures, adrenoreactive systems) - biochemical structures of cells that interact with adrenergic mediators (dopamine, adrenaline, noradrenaline ) and convert the energy of this interaction into the energy of a specific effect (muscle contraction, nerve impulse)
