Description
Summary:Although emerged for around a decade, tele-hearing systems have been limited to pure-tone audiometry because of the technical complexity involved in the other hearing test modalities. This paper presents a comprehensive remote hearing system that integrates two of the most needed test modalities: pure-tone audiogram and speech test. Inheriting the browserserver architecture from an earlier effort, the proposed system consists of an application server, audiologist terminal, and patient-side equipment, which further includes a commercial audiometer and an "in-house" console device that is capable of data and audio signal exchange required by speech tests and facilitates convenient communication between the audiologist and patient, making test sessions go smoothly.
