The response to auditory stimuli that can be measured independent of the patient's subjective response is:
A) auditory-evoked response.
B) pure tone audiometry.
C) tuning fork test.
D) Rinne test.
Auditory-Evoked Response
A measure of the brain's response to sound, used in hearing tests to assess auditory nerve and brainstem function.
Pure Tone Audiometry
A hearing test used to determine the threshold levels of an individual for various frequencies of sound.
Rinne Test
A hearing test that compares air conduction to bone conduction of sound, used to identify hearing loss type.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Auditory-evoked response (also known as auditory-evoked potentials) measures the electrical activity of the brain in response to auditory stimuli. This response can be measured objectively and does not rely on the patient's subjective response. Pure tone audiometry, tuning fork tests, and Rinne test all involve subjective responses from the patient.
