Audiologist Equipment Interface User Database For Providing Aural Rehabilitation Of Hearing Loss Across Multiple Dimensions Of Hearing

A method for using an interface for an audiometer generating analog right and left tone signals at respective right and left signal outputs, and a computer system for data analysis and audiological testing, the method comprising:

• providing an interface for coupling the right and left signal outputs, wherein the interface includes an analog to digital converter (“ADC”) for converting analog tone signals to digital tone data;
• providing a controller including a processor and a memory, wherein the controller is coupled to the interface, a digital signal processor (“DSP”), a sound card, a tone output and an operator input;
• wherein the processor is selectively controllable to operate the interface in a legacy mode and a processor control mode,
• wherein in the legacy mode the processor routes the analog tone signals received at the interface to the tone output, and
• wherein in the processor control mode the processor transmits the digital tone data to the DSP, wherein the DSP based on the digital tone data generates frequency and amplitude data corresponding to the analog tone signals represented by the digital tone data, stores the frequency and amplitude data in the memory and transmits the digital tone data to the sound card.
