An artificial patient for pure-tone audiometry [PDF]
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

Bayesian Pure-Tone Audiometry Through Active Learning Under Informed Priors [PDF]
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.

The Benefit of Air Conduction Pure-Tone Audiometry as a Screening Method for Hearing Loss over the VAS Score [PDF]
Hearing loss is commonly encountered by general practitioners. We aimed to evaluate the screening benefit of air conduction pure-tone audiometry over visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for hearing loss.

Noise-induced Hearing Loss among Patients Requiring Pure Tone Audiometry Evaluation in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Noise-induced hearing loss is a type of sensorineural hearing loss caused by long-term exposure to loud noise. This study provides insight into hearing loss problems the general population faces.

THE INDICATION OF HEARING AID BY PURE TONE AUDIOMETRY
From the relation between the effectiveness of a hearing aid and the threshold curve of air conduction the following results were obtained: 1) In cases of conductive or mixed deafness it was difficult to decide the efficiency of a hearing aid by considering only the threshold curve of air conduction.

Monitoring Practitioner's Skills in Pure-Tone Audiometry
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-

Influence of the type of acoustic transducer in pure-tone audiometry. [PDF]
To compare the air-conduction hearing thresholds obtained with different acoustic transducers and verify the users' preferences regarding them.This is a cross-sectional, analytical, observational study with 26 participants aged 18 to 30 years, with normal hearing and no history of exposure to high sound pressure levels or complaints of tinnitus at the ...

Comparison between auditory steady-state responses and pure-tone audiometry [PDF]
Background/Aim. A more recent method, the auditory steadystate response (ASSR), has become more and more important test method due to difference that was found in previous investigations between hearing thresholds determined by the ASSR and the pure-tone
