  • Patent number: 8452385
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system of auditory evoked heart rate variability analysis having advantage of simply analytical process and portability. The disclosed method mainly includes the following steps of: stimulating the auditory system of a person by a sound through a sound transmission device, capturing an electrocardiogram signal of the person, performing analog-to-digital conversion of the electrocardiogram signal, selecting the peaks of the electrocardiogram signal and transforming the qualified peaks to a consecutive peak signal, and performing spectrum analysis to the peak signal in frequency domain, and obtaining the difference of the spectral parameters before and after the evoked sounds. Moreover, the sound further is selected from the group consisting of noise, short tone burst, click, and any other sound with the intensity of 30 dB to 100 dB.

  • Patent number: 8147422
    Abstract: A method for detecting hearing impairment and a device thereof are provided. The device includes a sound collecting unit and analyzing unit. The sound collecting unit is used for receiving a voice signal from a subject based on the subject pronouncing a vowel. The analyzing unit is coupled to the sound collecting unit and is used for receiving the voice signal and performing a signal processing and a predetermined operation for the voice signal to provide the power of low-frequency oscillations of the voice fundamental frequency of the subject, wherein the hearing impairment of the subject is linear dependency with the low frequency oscillations.

  • Publication number: 20040083093
    Abstract: A method for measuring nasality senses a sound, amplifies the sensed sound signal, converts the sound signal to a digital sound signal, transforms the digital time domain sound signal to a frequency domain with a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT), determines a cut frequency (fcut) calculates a low frequency power and a high frequency power of each window, calculates an acoustic low/high ratio (ALHR) and calculates an average acoustic low/high ratio (ALHRave). With such a method, the ALHRave reflects a person's nasality and nasal airway status, and the method is conveniently performed.
