The measurement of hearing sensitivity or auditory acuteness; the process of testing hearing with instruments.
From Greek akoustikos plus -metry (measurement). A medical discipline that emerged in the 19th century with improvements in audiology.
Acoumetry is basically the old-fashioned name for what we now call audiometry—modern hearing aids use much more sophisticated versions of these same measurements to figure out exactly which frequencies you're missing.
