Abstract: A screening device for conducting a tone audiometry includes a tone generator, an input device, and a controller device. The controller device is arranged to repeatedly perform: selecting a test stimulus from a group of test stimuli; applying the selected test stimulus to a test person; receiving via the input device from the test person a response indicating which test stimulus was heard by the test person; and adjusting an intensity according to the received response for selecting a next test stimulus. The group of test stimuli includes (i) no tone at all, (ii) a single tone with a first frequency and a first given intensity, and (iii) a multitude of tones of a second frequency and a second given intensity. The second frequency is higher than the first frequency and the multitude of tones have a duration shorter than the duration of the single tone.
