The present invention makes the performance of hearing tests simple and
inexpensive without the need for soundproof rooms or the voice of a skilled
technician. It comprises Feedback Capable Earphones (2) comprised of earphones
(1) placed next to the ear and a microphone (3) installed for feedback next to
one of the earphones and a Computerized Audiometer comprised of said feedback
capable earphones (2), a personal computer (5) with a test program which
performs a series of tests and analyzes the results and which can calibrate
the volume of the sound heard in the earphones and cancel the influence of
external noises, a voice card (4) installed within the computer (5) through
which the program of the test plays a series of tones and instructions for the
examined person, and a steering stick (6) which helps the examined person to
react to the tones and the instructions, using button (7).
Cette invention permet de mener des tests auditifs de façon simple et bon marché sans nécessiter de locaux insonorisés ni la voix d'un technicien qualifié.
