2. Pure-tone audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure-tone_audiometry

   Pure-tone audiometry is the main hearing test used to identify hearing threshold levels of an individual, enabling determination of the degree, type and configuration of a hearing loss [1] [2] and thus providing a basis for diagnosis and management.

3. Audiogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiogram

   Hearing thresholds of humans and other mammals can be found with behavioural hearing tests or physiological tests used in audiometry. For adults, a behavioural hearing test involves a tester who presents tones at specific frequencies and intensities . When the testee hears the sound he or she responds (e.g., by raising a hand or pressing a button.

4. Equal-loudness contour - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour

   Loudness, being a psychological quantity, is difficult to measure, so Fletcher and Munson averaged their results over many test subjects to derive reasonable averages. The lowest equal-loudness contour represents the quietest audible tone—the absolute threshold of hearing. The highest contour is the threshold of pain.

   Here's how to read an audiogram and a doctor's explanation of the most common results including sloping hearing loss, notched hearing loss, cookie-bite hearing loss and reverse-sloping hearing loss.

6. Audiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiometry

   A pure tone audiometry hearing test is the gold standard for evaluation of hearing loss or disability. [medical citation needed] Other types of hearing tests also generate graphs or tables of results that may be loosely called 'audiograms', but the term is universally used to refer to the result of a pure tone audiometry hearing test.

7. Minimum audibility curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_audibility_curve

   This is not the best threshold found for all subjects, under ideal test conditions, which is represented by around 0 phon or the threshold of hearing on the equal-loudness contours, but is standardised in an ANSI standard to a level somewhat higher at 1 kHz . There are several definitions of the minimal audibility curve, defined in different ...

8. Hearing test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_test

   A hearing test provides an evaluation of the sensitivity of a person's sense of hearing and is most often performed by an audiologist using an audiometer. An audiometer is used to determine a person's hearing sensitivity at different frequencies. There are other hearing tests as well, e.g., Weber test and Rinne test.
