Hearing

48.0K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Mobile Health Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Hearing loss is a significant global health issue.
  • Traditional hearing assessments can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment.
  • There is a need for accessible and cost-effective hearing screening tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the "AudiClick" mobile application for hearing assessments.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of click-based sounds for hearing screening.
  • To compare the "AudiClick" app's performance against pure tone audiometry.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective comparative study was conducted.
  • 110 participants (aged 18-80) were enrolled.
  • The "AudiClick" app, used with wired earbuds on smartphones, was compared to pure tone audiometry.

Main Results:

  • The "AudiClick" app showed high accuracy in identifying hearing loss (80-99% sensitivity, specificity, PPV, accuracy).
  • Results significantly correlated with pure tone average (p < 0.01) across all hearing loss severities.
  • Excellent test-retest reliability was observed (ICC score of 0.93).

Conclusions:

  • The "AudiClick" mobile app is an efficient hearing screening tool.
  • It performs comparably to pure tone audiometry in field settings.
  • The app offers a more cost-effective and user-friendly alternative for hearing assessments.
