Pure tone audiometry was obtained for both ears of 32 children by a general practitioner using a simple audiometer in his surgery, and by audiometricians in a hospital department on the same day. Comparing the worst hearing threshold at any of the three tested frequencies, the general practitioner did not find any ears to hear more than 10 dB better than the hospital (no false negatives). Howev...

The project aimed at developing a software audiometer for hearing loss screening. The proposed software is definitely based on the internal peripherals of the computer without any externals devices. It has functionality to test patient’s hearing by generating pure-tones and masking signal for airconducted or bone-conducted stimuli. Practical hearing losses measurements of hard and normal of hea...

These are two monosyllable, closed-set speech tests. They are supplied as books of the stimulus pictures and a response sheet for photocopying. The test material is pre-recorded onto a CD with a calibration tone and six different orderings of the test words. Speech-shaped noise is recorded onto the second channel for testing in noise. It is envisaged that the typical set-up for carrying out the...
