Abstract: A method of method of acoustic screening for processing hearing loss patients utilizes a computing device connected to an audio output device to administer a hearing loss exam to a patient, display an audiogram of their hearing loss to the patient, and attempt to gently guide the patient into undergoing treatment for hearing loss. A correction algorithm is produced from the audiometric data in order to present the patient with comparison scenarios from typical day-to-day sounds with and without being modified by the correction algorithm.

Abstract: A voice activated device for annunciating a message indicative of a distance of the device spaced from another location is disclosed. The device comprises a voice sensor for receiving a voice command requesting annunciation of a message indicative of the distance of the device spaced from the other location, converting circuitry coupled to the voice sensor for converting the received voice command to a corresponding electrical command, determining circuitry responsive to the electrical command for determining the distance of the device from the other location, and a speaker coupled to the determining circuitry for annunciating the message indicative of the determined distance of the device from the other location. The device may be used for informing a golfer of the golfer's distance from the pin.
