Monitoring Practitioner's Skills in Pure-Tone Audiometry
International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications, 2020 So far, there exists no standard, to evaluate a practitioner's skills in pure-tone audiometry. To narrow the gap, this article presents an artificial patient (AP) emulating various types of hearing impairment. In contrast to other solutions, the AP autonomously listens to real pure-tones in soft real-time, while taking into account elements from psycho-

Auditory Evoked Potential Detection During Pure-Tone Audiometry [PDF]
2021 10th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER), 2021 Modern audiometry is largely a behavioural task, with the pure-tone audiogram (PTA) being the gold standard for evaluating frequency-specific hearing thresholds in adults. The nature of behavioural audiometry makes estimating accurate hearing thresholds difficult in infants and people with disabilities, where following instructions or interacting with ...
