Audiometry

It is a division of audiology and the science of estimating sound acuity for changes in noise magnitude, incline and for tonal purity. These concerns with the origins and differing the frequencies. Typically, audiometric analyses determine a subject's performance levels with the assistant of an audiometer. However, it may similarly regulate the capacity to distinguish between various sound intensities, identify the pitch, or identify conversation from environmental noise.

The most appropriate method is AUDIOMETRY.
Hearing acuity refers to the measure of how well a person hears. Audiometry refers to the science of measuring hearing acuity for variations in sound intensity and pitch at different frequencies.
