Method and Device for Conducting a Pure Tone Audiometry Screening

Method for conducting a pure tone audiometry, using tones of different frequency and intensity utilizing an adaptive procedure, wherein tone signals with at least two different frequencies are being independently changed by delivering to test person a set of at least three different test stimuli, those test stimuli being selected from a group of:

• no tone at all,
• one long tone with a first frequency, and
• a multitude, preferably three, short tones of a second frequency;
• said second frequency being higher than the first frequency, receiving the test persons response, said response corresponding to one of the different test stimuli, presenting a next test stimulus to the test person after a short delay, the next test stimulus of that frequency having a lower intensity in case the answer of the test person was correct and the test stimulus did include a tone at all, and having a higher intensity in case the answer was not correct, wherein the next test stimulus being delivered to the test person, following an answer, may utilize a different frequency for further improving the accuracy of the test result.
