Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Medical Education
  • Software Development

Background:

  • Audiometry is crucial for diagnosing hearing impairments.
  • Effective training tools are needed for audiology students and professionals.
  • Simulations can provide a safe and controlled learning environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop flexible audiometer simulator software.
  • To serve as a teaching and training tool for pure tone and speech audiometry.
  • To include capabilities for testing with and without masking.

Main Methods:

  • Developed algorithms for simulated patient responses in audiometry.
  • Implemented software using editable text files for user interface and patient data.
  • Designed the system for flexibility and user customization.

Main Results:

  • The 'audiometer simulator' software is freely available.
  • It supports training for pure tone (with/without masking) and speech audiometry.
  • Users can customize patient definitions and interface texts; multilingual support is available.

Conclusions:

  • A set of algorithms enables computer-determined responses for simulated patients in audiometry.
  • The developed computer program is a useful teaching tool for audiology training.
  • The simulator's flexibility and free availability enhance its educational value.
