audibility test results
I am translating medical test results on hearing into English, and I need help with usage of these two terms:
hearing, audibility
What I have used both terms in the following way:
"Subjectively: hearing unchanged
Otoscopically: gray, intact ear drums...
...
Speech audiogram: hearing levels for both ears at 15 dB, 100% audibility at 35 dB for right ear,..."
Thank you for your help!

English term (edited):
hearing vs audibility
the sense (of hearing) vs whether a sound can be heard
Hearing tends to refer to the ability to hear, whereas audibility refers more to a sound and the degree to which it is heard.
