It involves using an audiometer, which is a machine that plays sounds via headphones. Your audiologist or an assistant will play a variety of sounds, such as tones and speech, at different intervals into one ear at a time, to determine your range of hearing. The audiologist will give you instructions for each sound.
What is the use of Audiometers?
An audiometer is a machine used for evaluating hearing acuity. They usually consist of an embedded hardware unit connected to a pair of headphones and a test subject feedback button, sometimes controlled by a standard PC. Such systems can also be used with bone vibrators, to test conductive hearing mechanisms.

Rinne test
The doctor strikes a tuning fork and places it on the mastoid bone behind one ear. When you can no longer hear the sound, you signal to the doctor. Then, the doctor moves the tuning fork next to your ear canal. When you can no longer hear that sound, you once again signal the doctor.
