Area of Science:

  • Audiology and Hearing Science
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Conventional audiometry requires in-person visits, limiting access for individuals in remote or underserved areas.
  • The need for accessible and reliable hearing assessment tools is critical for early detection and management of hearing loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a personal computer (PC)-based system for interactive remote audiometry (tele-audiometry).
  • To assess the performance and accuracy of the PC-based tele-audiometric system compared to traditional face-to-face audiometry.

Main Methods:

  • A fully PC-based tele-audiometric system was developed using a sound card as a pure-tone generator and Microsoft Windows for the application interface.
  • A calibration procedure was implemented to standardize sound levels for remote testing.

  • The system's performance was evaluated by comparing results from 37 subjects using the PC-based system against conventional clinical audiometry and during remote site usage.

    • Main Results:

    • The PC-based audiometry system estimated audiometric thresholds with an error of less than 2.3 dBSPL.
    • During remote site usage, only 10.7% of results showed an error greater than 5 dBSPL.
    • The system demonstrated acceptable performance for remote audiometric evaluations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed PC-based tele-audiometry system is a viable and effective tool for conducting hearing assessments remotely.
    • This technology can significantly improve access to audiological services in locations with internet connectivity but no local audiologists.
    • The system offers ease of use, comparable to standard PC applications, facilitating broader adoption.
