Filed:

Jun 24, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/562091

Inventors:

Mark Burrows - Princeton NJ, US
John Cronin - Jericho VT, US
Nancy Edwards - Jericho VT, US
Justin Kunz - South Burlington VT, US
John Singarayar - Skillman NJ, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600559000

Abstract:

A data storage media including customized hearing training information is created using troublesome content identified based on testing of an individual's hearing profile. The identified content, and amplification factors associated with the hearing profile and corresponding to the identified content, are stored on the media. The individual can readily access the media, which can be portable, to generate sound output representative of the identified content without, and adjusted by, the corresponding amplification factor, such that the individual can train his brain on the identified troublesome content before receiving a hearing aid.

International Classification:

H04R 25/00

US Classification:

381314000

Abstract:

The present invention is a system for and method of adjusting hearing aids () by discrete frequency ranges (); continual tuning and reprogramming of the hearing aid is accomplished in real time via iterations between a patient (with hearing aid in ear, ) and an audiologist (). A test tone or other sound is played and the patient gives feedback on the test tone's suitability (such as loudness). The hearing aid () is further tuned and reprogrammed accordingly as the sound is replayed and the patient () gives additional feedback. These steps continue until the patient () considers the hearing optimized, compensating for both the patient's hearing loss and individual preferences in the discrete frequency ranges. The following are twelve commonly tested frequency ranges: 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 750 Hz, 1000 Hz, 1500 Hz, 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 5000 Hz, 6000 Hz, 8000 Hz, and 10,000 Hz.

International Classification:

A61B 5/12

US Classification:

600559

Abstract:

System and method for diagnosing hearing loss in an individual using a self-executable, interactive electronic hearing loss diagnosis apparatus including a data storage media and a media player for accessing data on the media. The diagnostic apparatus provides hearing loss diagnostic data to the individual in the form of coded data. A hearing loss professional can use the coded data to further diagnose the hearing loss of the individual.

International Classification:

H04R 29/00

US Classification:

381 60

Abstract:

Method and system () for becoming aware of some hearing loss and the need for a professional hearing test. Simple and professional hearing testing provide an understanding of the improvement in the quality of life that can be achieved through use of a hearing aid. Ordering and fitting of the hearing aid, and training on use of a hearing aid, are performed to further demonstrate and provide for improved quality of life. The system () includes a user (), a hearing test unit (), a test administrator computer (), a pair of headphones (), a keyboard (), a monitor (), a series of hearing test programs (), a central hearing health system (), a database, a device (), and a set of individual results.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600559

Abstract:

System and method for conducting a hearing test that is accessible to a mass market of individuals with potential hearing loss. The hearing test is stored on a centrally located computer () that is accessible via communications device (). The system provides step-by-step guidance on the next steps to be taken if hearing loss is found, and provides a means to store and organize the user test data to create a means for reuse of the data.
