audiometer

 [aw″de-om´ĕ-ter]
an apparatus used in audiometry for testing the hearing.

au·di·om·e·ter

(aw'dē-om'ĕ-ter),
An electronic device used to measure hearing thresholds for pure tones, modulated tones, speech, and other acoustic stimuli.
[audio- + G. metron, measure]

au·di·om·e·ter

(aw'dē-om'ĕ-tĕr)
An electrical instrument for measuring the threshold of hearing for pure tones of frequencies generally varying from 128-8000 Hz (recorded in decibels).
[L. audio, to hear + G. metron, measure]

audiometer

An instrument for measuring the lowest levels at which pure tones can be heard at each of a range of frequencies, either by air or by bone conduction. The results are recorded as an AUDIOGRAM.

Results of exploratory tympanotomy following sudden unilateral deafness and its effects on hearing restoration
This may result in an abnormal, audiometrically induced bone-conduction threshold shift and suggest to the otologist the need for auditory brainstem response testing and/or magnetic resonance imaging.
How to eliminate air-bone gaps audiometrically: use too much masking
Between 3 and 14 months postoperatively, the patency of the ear canal was assessed visually and hearing was evaluated audiometrically. Adequate patency was achieved in 5 of the 6 ears (83.3%), and the air-bone gap in these 5 ears had improved to 10 dB or less.
