Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lowest level at which people with normal hearing can hear is known as audiometric zero, which is measured in dB HL (decibels hearing level). The other options are not correct as follows:
A) 0 hertz is the frequency at which a sound wave occurs, but it does not have any relation to the lowest audible level of hearing.
B) Pure-tone audiometry is a hearing test that measures a person's hearing threshold at different frequencies, but it is not the lowest audible level of hearing.
C) Otoacoustic zero is a measure of the level of sound that is generated by the inner ear in response to a sound stimulus, but it is not related to the lowest audible level of hearing.
