Description

Inner ear noise intensity measurement method based on variable loudness adjustment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of acoustic testing, in particular to an inner ear noise intensity measuring method based on variability loudness adjustment.
Background
Tinnitus is a subjective auditory experience produced by an individual in the absence of a responsive external sound stimulus, and is a common symptom caused by auditory dysfunction. Studies have indicated that about 70% of people with hearing loss have problems with tinnitus. The incidence rate of tinnitus is extremely high, and some tinnitus seriously affects the life quality of patients, so that emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression and the like occur, and even the patients have suicidal thoughts. For many years, the efficacy of tinnitus treatments has been limited due to a lack of understanding of the overall mechanism of tinnitus.
Subjective tinnitus refers to "symptoms of sound sensation in the ear or intracranial when stimulated by external sound source-free stimulation or electrical stimulation, and lasts more than 5 minutes". In the presence of loud noise, the auditory cells of the inner ear are damaged, transmitting false auditory signals to the brain, causing tinnitus. Noise-induced hearing loss, also known as noise-induced deafness, is a slow, progressive auditory injury that occurs as a result of prolonged exposure to noise, with the damaged area in the inner ear; the inner ear of the human body has 18000 auditory cells, ciliated cells with a diameter of about 0.01 mm, which sense hearing, are susceptible to noise and cannot regenerate after being injured.
The diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus is tinnitus diagnosis made according to subjective auditory experience of a patient; and then tinnitus treatment is carried out according to the result of tinnitus diagnosis. The core of tinnitus diagnosis lies in tinnitus detection, i.e. the acoustic characteristics of tinnitus are used to make "characteristic" diagnosis for each tinnitus patient, which is also a prerequisite for tinnitus treatment.
Tinnitus detection mainly involves four psychoacoustic features of tinnitus: loudness, frequency, minimum masking level, and post-residual suppression. The key of tinnitus detection is rapid, efficient and accurate tinnitus matching. Loudness recruitment or post-masking effects are the most dominant factors affecting tinnitus matching results. Loudness matching at the frequency where hearing is best reflects the tinnitus severity more realistically than matching at the frequency where the tinnitus is located. The loudness of the sound determines the level of the sound.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and examples.
The method for measuring the inner ear noise intensity is a subjective measurement method based on repeated auditory judgment of a patient, and the method comprises the following specific steps.
First, the stimulating sound is generated at a constant level at different levels of the variable loudness intervals based on a certain combination of sound at a reference loudness and frequency.
For a preset certain reference loudness L1 and frequency F1, such as loudness L =70dB and frequency 2000Hz, aiming at different loudness intervals

Such as

The two sound stimuli generated in the following step are played to the testee. The sequence of playing the experimental stimulation sound set to be tested is shown in fig. 2. After presentation of the T1 time length mute, sound levels a1 and a2 of the mute are played back at intervals T3 time lengths before and after the play, where both a1 and a2 are T2 in playback time length. The order of occurrence of a1, a2 was randomized in each trial. And after the two sound levels are played, the tested person is required to perform key judgment. After the test person responded, there was an interval of time duration T4 before the start of the next trial.
In the experimental test process, the tester judges which section of the two played horizontal sound stimuli with short intervals contains the section of sound stimulus level with larger average intensity, and when the playing of each experimental stimulus is finished, the tester immediately makes an alternative mandatory judgment.

In this step, the tester judges the experimental stimulus, and the experimental requirements are as follows: the test of the testers on the stimulation of the auditory experiment is selected, and the test is carried out in a sound-proof room. Optionally, during the test experiment, the sound signal is output to the autonomous audio system through a 24-bit innovative sound card (PCI128), and then presented to the tester through two earphones (Model HDA 200).
The selection requirements of the tester are as follows: the tester has normal (the pure tone audiometric threshold is not more than 20 dB) and balanced (the difference between the thresholds of the two ears is not more than 15 dB) pure tone audiometric threshold in the frequency range of 0.125-8 kHz after the pure tone audiometric threshold test of the left ear and the right ear respectively.
And thirdly, acquiring experimental data, and fitting to obtain the intensity of the internal noise at a constant level.
