Audiometry is a branch of audiology that measures hearing acuity. It involves tests that assess the function of the hearing mechanism, including:
Mechanical sound transmission
Neural sound transmission
Speech discrimination ability 

Audiometry is an important tool for assessing hearing thresholds in patients with hearing loss. An audiogram can visually display a patient's hearing loss type and degree.
