Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems for monitoring or testing the hearing of a user using a portable unit include presenting a plurality of test frequencies for selection by a user and storing data about those frequencies, and the user's response to stimuli presented at those frequencies, and comparing the stored data to previously acquired hearing data. Using mathematical prediction algorithms, changes in baseline hearing values can be used to identify potential hearing issues, especially hearing issues associated with ototoxicity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A hearing monitoring system for monitoring hearing loss over a plurality of tests, comprising: an audio test unit configured to output one or more test sounds to an ear of a user during a respective hearing test, the audio test unit being configured to deliver the one or more test sounds at a plurality of test frequencies and at a plurality of stimulus levels; and a hearing test control system configured to display the plurality of test frequencies on a display scre…
