hearing test
evaluation of the sensitivity of a person's sense of hearing
hearing threshold
minimum sound level of a pure tone that an average human ear with normal hearing can hear with no other sound present
absolute threshold of hearing
minimum sound level that an average individual can hear
impedance audiometry
tests of middle ear function based on the difficulty (impedance) or ease (admittance) of sound flow through the middle ear
pure tone audiometry
hearing test
real ear measurement
measurement of sound pressure level in a patient's ear canal developed when a hearing aid is worn
brainstem auditory evoked potential
electrophysiological assessment of auditory system synchrony
conditioned play audiometry
pediatric hearing test where conditioned responses to auditory stimuli are used to assess a child's hearing ability, often through games or activities
dichotic listening test
auditory test to assess selective attention
audiometry
hearing test that assesses a person's hearing ability
Rinne test
screening test for hearing named after Heinrich Adolf Rinne
Ling sounds
behavioral assessment procedure that evaluates the auditory detection ability in children and infants
Weber test
sensory neural hearing loss examination
articulation index
method of measuring hearing loss
universal neonatal hearing screening
policy of routinely testing the hearing of babies soon after birth
tone decay test
auditory nerve function assessment by measuring the ability to sustain hearing a continuous tone, aiding in detecting retrocochlear disorders
