Abstract

In this study, we present an efficient ambulatory speech audiometric system to detect one's hearing problems at an earlier stage as possible without his or her visit to the audiometric testing facility such in a hospital or a clinic. To estimate a person's hearing threshold level in terms of speech sound response in his or her local environment, a digital assistant(PDA) device is used to generate the speech sound with implementing audiometric Graphic User Interface(GUI) system. Furthermore, a supra-aural earphone is used to measure a subject's hearing threshold level in terms of speech sound by the compensating the transducer's gain by adopting speech sound calibration system.
