FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves recording audiograms in cases of patients having high degree of asymmetry using acoustic signal which intensity is 10 dB lower than the found hearing threshold of an ear of lower hearing potency, as masking signal. The lower hearing potency ear threshold is repeatedly measured until difference between the value and the masking signal value becomes less than 40 dB. EFFECT: provided soft mode of auditory function tests in cases of high degree hearing loss; accelerated and accurate method.
