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. 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 .

4. 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.

5. Weber test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber_test

   The Weber test is administered by holding a vibrating tuning fork on top of the patient's head. The Weber test is a screening test for hearing performed with a tuning fork. [1] [2] It can detect unilateral (one-sided) conductive hearing loss (middle ear hearing loss) and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear hearing loss). [3]

6. Diagnosis of hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_hearing_loss

   Other method for quantifying hearing loss is a hearing test using a mobile application or hearing aid application, which includes a hearing test. [1] [2] Hearing diagnosis using mobile application is similar to the audiometry procedure. As a result of hearing test, hearing thresholds at different frequencies are determined.

7. Rinne test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinne_test

   This test and its complement, the Weber test, are quick screening tests and are not a replacement for formal audiometry. Recently, its value as a screening test has been questioned. [6] The Rinne test is not reliable in distinguishing sensorineural and conductive loss cases of severe unilateral or total sensorineural loss.
