An audiometry test is done to determine how well you can hear. This can be done as part of a routine evaluation or in response to noticeable hearing loss. An audiometric test tests your ability to hear sounds. The sounds vary according to their intensity and the speed of the oscillations of the sound waves. Hearing occurs when sound waves stimulate the nerves in the inner ear. The sound then travels to the brain through nerve pathways.
