Abstract

Handheld apparatus (100), and method for comprehensive hearing testing with pass / refer results applicable for large scale neonatal screening, adult screening, or full hearing diagnostic is disclosed. The apparatus (100) contains a signal processor (1), integral ear probe (150), and remote ear, and scalp probes (104) all packaged as a single handheld battery operated device (100). The apparatus (100) preferably performs a battery of tests, either independently or combined: oto-acoustic measurements utilizing a novel digital signal processing method for evoked oto-acoustic signal processing, auditory brain stem response test, tympanometry, and oto-reflectance. Algorithms for automatic test sequence, and pass / refer indication for the tests are provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to audiometric devices and related screening methods. In particular, the present invention relates to a hand-held audiometric device having properties that are beneficial for all neonatal screening procedures. While the invention has been described with particular emphasis on its auditory screening applications, those skilled in the art will appreciate the broader applicability of the principles of the invention disclosed hereinafter. Background technique [0002] The usual newborn hearing screening program has expanded considerably due to improvements in audiometry, improvements in rehabilitation techniques, increased awareness of the amazing benefits of early intervention for hearing-impaired infants, and changes in government policy. However, current newborn hearing screening methods do not adequately account for the many different types and varying degrees of hearing abnormalities encountered with current screening me...
