hearing test
Sound perception assessment
A hearing test is a medical examination that measures how well a person can detect sounds at various frequencies and volumes.
An audiologist typically administers the test in a soundproof booth, asking the patient to respond when they hear tones through headphones: The school nurse scheduled hearing tests for all the kindergartners.
