La audiometría tiene lugar en la cabina audiométrica.

Tener lugar is an idiomatic expression meaning to take place, to happen, or to occur.

So:

• La audiometría tiene lugar... = The audiometry takes place...

It is a bit formal and common in written, technical, or professional Spanish. In everyday speech, people might also say:

• La audiometría se realiza en la cabina audiométrica.
• La prueba se hace en la cabina audiométrica.

In this sentence, tiene lugar sounds natural and professional.

Spanish often uses the definite article more than English does.

Here, la audiometría refers to the audiometry procedure/test in a general or known sense, so la is natural.

Compare:

• La audiometría tiene lugar en la cabina audiométrica. = talking about the procedure as a known activity
• Audiometría by itself would sound more like a heading, label, or dictionary form

This is very common in Spanish, especially with medical procedures, subjects, and abstract nouns.

Yes, audiometría is feminine, which is why the sentence uses la.

A useful pattern is that many nouns ending in -ía are feminine:

• la biología
• la cirugía
• la fotografía
• la audiometría

That is why the verb is linked to la audiometría, and the article is la, not el.

En means in or inside here, and la cabina audiométrica means the audiometric booth or the sound booth used for hearing tests.

So:

• en la cabina audiométrica = in the audiometric booth

Spanish uses en for being located inside a place or where something happens.

Examples:

• La reunión tiene lugar en la oficina.
• La clase tiene lugar en el aula.
• La audiometría tiene lugar en la cabina audiométrica.

In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• cabina = booth
• audiométrica = audiometric

Together:

• cabina audiométrica = audiometric booth

This noun + adjective order is the normal pattern in Spanish, especially in technical or descriptive language.

Compare:

• sala médica
• equipo electrónico
• prueba auditiva

Because the adjective has to agree with the noun it describes.

Here, the noun is cabina, which is feminine singular, so the adjective must also be feminine singular:

• cabina → feminine singular
• audiométrica → feminine singular

If the noun were masculine, you would use audiométrico:

• equipo audiométrico

If plural:

• cabinas audiométricas
• equipos audiométricos

Yes, you probably could, and it would be understandable. Both are structurally possible:

• cabina audiométrica
• cabina de audiometría

However, cabina audiométrica sounds more like a standard technical label: a booth that is audiometric / used for audiometry.

Meanwhile, cabina de audiometría means more literally booth for audiometry.

In professional or medical contexts, adjective-based expressions like cabina audiométrica are very common.

Yes. Tiene lugar is correct, but somewhat formal. More everyday alternatives include:

• La audiometría se realiza en la cabina audiométrica.
• La prueba se hace en la cabina audiométrica.
• El examen se hace en la cabina audiométrica.

Nuance:

• tiene lugar = formal, impersonal, written style
• se realiza = professional and very common in medical/technical contexts
• se hace = more everyday and conversational

It can mean either, depending on context.

Audiometría may refer to:

1. Audiometry as a field/technique
2. An audiometry test/procedure

In this sentence, it most likely means the audiometry procedure/test, because it says where it takes place.

If you wanted to be extra explicit, Spanish might also say:

• La prueba de audiometría tiene lugar en la cabina audiométrica.

It is pronounced with the stress on the -rí- part:

• au-dio-me-TRÍ-a

The written accent in audiometría shows where the stress goes.

Similarly:

• audiométrica has stress on -mé-
• au-dio-MÉ-tri-ca

The accent marks are important because they show the stressed syllable.

Because the subject is La audiometría, which is singular.

So the verb must also be singular:

• La audiometría tiene lugar...

If the subject were plural, the verb would change:

• Las audiometrías tienen lugar...

This is standard subject-verb agreement in Spanish.

It sounds neutral and would be understood across Latin America.

Nothing in the sentence is especially Spain-specific. The vocabulary is technical and standard:

• audiometría
• tiene lugar
• cabina audiométrica

That said, in everyday Latin American Spanish, many speakers might prefer a more direct version such as:

• La audiometría se realiza en la cabina audiométrica.

But the original sentence is still perfectly natural in formal or medical Spanish.
