Description

The user interface that is used for automated diagnostic hearing test
Technical field
Relate generally to audiology of the present invention field particularly, relates to and is used to test and assess and analyzes the automated method of anaudia and the user interface of system.
Background technology
According to research in recent years, only just have to surpass 20,000,000 people to a certain degree anaudia is arranged in the U.S..Estimate to have in the worldwide people's the quantity of anaudia to a certain degree also much bigger.Not surprisingly, these people do not recognize that much they have suffered the decline of hearing ability.The decline of this hearing ability may be caused by a plurality of factors, comprises age, health, occupation, injured and disease.This anaudia may cause quality of life significantly to descend, inter personal contact is impaired, employment reduces and reducing of the productivity.Fail to treat anaudia and will worsen these influences.Better Hearing institute is represented, in the U.S., because the annual expense of cap loss, specific education and health care aspect that untreated anaudia causes is about 56,000,000,000 dollars.Much can reduce or prevent in this astonishing expense by early stage detection and treatment.Unfortunately, owing to lack simple, convenient and relatively cheap hearing test, few people are with the part of regular and frequent hearing test as their conventional health care.
Traditionally, in clinical setting, carry out hearing test by the hearing health (as audiologist) of labor management hearing test.Hearing health control audibility meter is to produce a series of tone, and each tone has frequency and the intensity of determining very much." intensity " speech is used to refer to the amplitude of tone in this article, and is unit with decibel (dB) often.By transducer (such as earphone or earplug) tone is directed at patient in quiet room or the soundproof room then.For each tone that can hear, the patient makes gesture or represents that with other modes he has heard this tone.If do not hear tone, then the patient does not respond.Thereafter hearing health becomes and can be heard by the patient up to it with the intensity level of predetermined up regulation tone.By several different tones being repeated this process and the result is edited, hearing health can be determined the degree of anaudia, if any.
Allow the advantage of hearing health labor management hearing test be to use his a large amount of training and experience in the test period hearing health.For example, by with the simple talk of patient and change the size of sound, hearing health can determine to start the initial strength level of tone and voice.And hearing health can be regulated the speed of test as required to adapt to tired or disoperative patient.The more important thing is that hearing health can be distinguished false response or conjecture and real response.At last, hearing health can be adjusted the result of hearing test as required to reflect environment or the problem that the state of an illness is alleviated, such as limitation and other similar factors of excessive environment noise, equipment.
Yet the same with specialized medical expert with the training of a lot of height, the time of hearing health and service be unusual costliness often.Because with respect to the medical expert of other types, hearing health is less, so accessibility and convenience also are problems.Though hearing health is highly trained, in a lot of examples they test data is carried out rapidly and accurately calculate limited in one's ability and have to rely on approximate and empirical rule as guidance.In addition, seldom there is hearing health to speak a foreign language in the U.S..Therefore, traditional hearing test nearly all is to carry out in English, and this is a problem to the patient who does not speak English.
Other shortcomings of the hearing test that tradition is manually carried out comprise room or the soundproof room that needs peace and quiet in order correctly to test.Can enter aspect this room or the soundproof room at the much noises of test period, this quiet room or soundproof room must meet the requirement of ANSI (American National Standards Institute).Usually, before room or soundproof room can use, must test and assess and authenticate this quiet room or soundproof room has reached ansi standard through the technical staff of professional training.At present, technical staff relatively seldom was subjected to training to carry out such test and appraisal and authentication.More than all factors combine, increased the complexity of traditional hearing test, thereby hindered or make most of people generally lack interest at least obtaining regular and frequent hearing test.
A trial simplifying traditional hearing test relates to the network that uses a computer (such as the Internet) and comes management testing.This computer network helps mutual between patient's website that central test and management website and far-end be provided with.This set makes the people of far-end or rural area (perhaps at least more easily) to obtain hearing test.And can under the situation that reaches Standardization Order (requiring or Valuation Standard), carry out hearing test such as ANSI.Though increased convenience, hearing health still must should be tested in labor management, only remotely.In this sense, this test is closely similar with traditional hearing test and have a lot of identical shortcomings.
What therefore, need is the hearing test that has overcome the shortcoming of traditional hearing test.What need particularly, is user interface simpler, more convenient, more cheap, that can be undertaken rather than be carried out and do not damage the accuracy of the hearing test that tradition manually carries out and complete hearing test and be used for this hearing test by hearing health by the patient.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to a kind of multimedia user interface that is used for automated diagnostic hearing test.This user interface is carried out mutual to finish the means of each test for the patient provides with double-Y shaped multi.Be provided for the indication and the guidance of each test to the patient, and the patient can the paging operation person require to help at any time.Provide alert message and progress indicator to judge his progress to help the patient.This set make the patient can test he audition and Min. or do not need the help of audiologist or other hearing health.This user interface also makes the operator can dispose double-Y shaped multi as required.
