  • Publication number: 20070204696
    Abstract: A system for automatedly administering an audiometric test includes an audiometer for performing the test by outputting test tones, and a processor programmed for monitoring responses to the test tones, detecting an error condition, automatically delivering audible corrective instructions to address the error condition detected, and automatically resuming outputting test tones after the audible corrective instructions have been delivered without intervention by a human test administrator.

  • Patent number: 7210353
    Abstract: A system and method for obtaining hearing ability related data from a subject outputs tones or sounds and monitors the subject's responses to the tones or sounds. An error condition is detected based on the responses, and corrective instructions are automatically delivered based on the error condition detected. The hearing evaluation is resumed by outputting tones or sounds, and the steps of outputting, monitoring, detecting, automatically delivering and resuming are iterated until evaluation of the subject's hearing has been completed.

  • Publication number: 20040074304
    Abstract: A method for automatedly administering an audiometric test includes the steps of controlling an audiometer to selectively switch the audiometer output between test tones generated by the audiometer and sound signals generated from digital information; first switching the audiometer output to sound signals when the step of controlling indicates a beginning of a new test, a completion of a current test, or a test error; outputting sound representative of the sound signals after the step of first switching; second switching the audiometer output to test tones after the step of outputting; and outputting test tones until the next step of first switching.
