Abstract

ABLB (alternate binaural loudness balance) test is one of the medical assessments to diagnose detailed lesion of sensory-neural hearing loss based on a recruitment phenomenon. However, current ABLB audiometry takes an operational model, so called face-to-face model, in which model one audiometrist can assess only one subject at a time. As a result, this face-to-face model leads to expensive audiometrist's labor cost and lengthy wait when there exist many subjects. As a solution, this paper suggests an ABLB audiometry system supporting one-to-many model in which model an audiometrist enables to assess several subjects concurrently. By providing such capabilities as real-time transfer of assessment result, video monitoring of subject and video chat, this solution can provide same effect as face-to-face model but overcome weakness of the existing face-to-face model.
