Bayesian Pure-Tone Audiometry Through Active Learning Under Informed Priors

Frontiers in Digital Health, 2021
Pure-tone audiometry—the process of estimating a person's hearing threshold from “audible” and “inaudible” responses to tones of varying frequency and intensity—is the basis for diagnosing and quantifying hearing loss.

An artificial patient for pure-tone audiometry

EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2018
The successful treatment of hearing loss depends on the individual practitioner’s experience and skill. So far, there is no standard available to evaluate the practitioner’s testing skills. To assess every practitioner equally, the paper proposes a first

Accuracy of automated pure-tone audiometry in population-based samples of older adults

International Journal of Audiology, 2023
Objective Automated pure-tone audiometry is frequently used in teleaudiology and hearing screening. Given the high prevalence of age-related hearing loss, older adults are an important target population.

Pure Tone Audiometry and Hearing Loss in Alzheimer's Disease: A Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
An association between age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) has been widely reported. However, the nature of this relationship remains poorly understood.

Assessing hearing loss in older adults with a single question and person characteristics; Comparison with pure tone audiometry in the Rotterdam Study

PLoS ONE, 2020
Introduction Hearing loss (HL) is a frequent problem among the elderly and has been studied in many cohort studies. However, pure tone audiometry—the gold standard—is rather time-consuming and costly for large population-based studies.

Screening for Hearing Impairment in Older Adults by Smartphone-Based Audiometry, Self-Perception, HHIE Screening Questionnaire, and Free-Field Voice Test: Comparative Evaluation of the Screening Accuracy With Standard Pure-Tone Audiometry

JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2020
Background Hearing impairment is the most frequent sensory deficit in humans, affecting more than 360 million people worldwide. In fact, hearing impairment is not merely a health problem, but it also has a great impact on the educational performance ...

Pure-tone audiometry without bone-conduction thresholds: using the digits-in-noise test to detect conductive hearing loss

International Journal of Audiology, 2020
Objective: COVID-19 has been prohibitive to traditional audiological services. No- or low-touch audiological assessment outside a sound-booth precludes test batteries including bone conduction audiometry.
