Abstract
At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a method of determining hearing loss using audio cues whose spectrum is orthogonal to each other to identify a wearer's hearing loss, and using the information to adjust audio to normal listening levels.
Claims5
A method of measuring frequency dependent hearing loss comprising:
- sending a first frequency band word (FBW) and a second FBW to a user using a speaker, where the
- first FBW and the second FBW are orthogonal with respect to a threshold value to each other, and where the first FBW and second FBW are presented to the user simultaneously;
- receiving indication from the user whether the first FBW, second FBW, or a combination was heard;
- and
- adjusting the first FBW and adjusting the second FBW based upon the user indication, where a first FBW gain is increased if the first FBW is not heard by the user while a second FBW gain is decreased and where the second FBW gain is increased if the second FBW is not heard by the user while the first FBW gain is decreased.
