Medical audiometers are devices that are used to assess the level of hearing as well as to measure and diagnose the severity of hearing loss. Audiometers are made up of embedded hardware and a feedback button for the test participant that is coupled to a pair of headphones. A regular PC is used to control this system. Audiometry is a technique for determining a person’s hearing capacity. Types of audiometry procedures include immittance audiometry, pure tone audiometry, evoked response audiometry and speech audiometry. Various technological advancements have led to the development of hybrid audiometers and PC-based audiometers to communication and improve quality of life.
