Method for obtaining audiometric measurements and also for adjusting hearing aids, according to the previous claim, characterized in that:

• the hearing aid specialist places a hearing aid in their ear and explains the entire audiometric measurement process to the patient via the web camera, transmitting the data and images to the computer screen of the patient, who follows the steps that are indicated to them,
• additionally, the patient receives audible programmed messages through loud speakers connected to their computer or through the hearing aid, with which to carry out the tonal, air conduction, and ear canal data collection tests,
• the hearing aid specialist calculates the minimum hearing threshold by frequencies,
• the program provided to the patient is complemented with a series of standard digitalized and tested words,
• the hearing aid specialist sends a signal to adjust the patient's hearing aid through the telematic network, using a suitably programmed computer application, taking the calculated minimum hearing threshold into account,
• the patient receives information to check whether their hearing aid is correctly programmed to their necessities by means of an anechoic chamber,
• the patient sends information through telematic means to the hearing aid specialist with the measurement data in the anechoic chamber,
• the hearing aid specialist sends a new signal to adjust the patient's hearing aid via the telematic network, taking the measurement data from the anechoic chamber into account,
