Audiometry: specific test to measure the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones; frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds.
