Patent number: 11484226Abstract: A hearing test system includes a sound generating unit, an user interface, and a control unit. The sound generating unit is configured to generate a first testing sound at a frequency for a subject. The user interface is configured to receive a first feedback of the subject based on the first testing sound. The control unit is configured to determine whether the first feedback is of heard response or an unheard response. When the control unit confirms that the first feedback is of the heard response, the control unit drives the sound generating unit to generate a second testing sound based on a lower testing limit at the frequency, in which a volume of the second testing sound is less than or substantially equal to a volume of the first testing sound.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: MERRY ELECTRONICS (SHENZHEN) CO., LTD.Inventors: Yung-Yu Chiang, Tun-Shin Lo, Hung-Yue Chang
