Audiometers

/ˌɔːdiˈɑːmɪtərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of audiometer; multiple devices used for measuring hearing ability.

Etymology

Plural form of audiometer, maintaining the same Latin and Greek roots (audire + metron) with the standard English plural suffix -s.

Kelly Says

Hospitals and audiology clinics often have multiple audiometers calibrated to exact specifications—they must be rechecked regularly because even tiny changes in electronic components can make hearing test results unreliable.
