Ethod for multi-level tonal adaptive scanning in an extended range of sound frequencies

A method for multi-level tonal adaptive diagnosis of hearing disorders in an extended range of sound frequencies, including presenting the patient with automatic audio signals in the frequency range when the sound signal levels change, characterized in that the range of tested frequencies is used:

• 125-250-500-750-1000-2000-3000-4000-6000-8000-10000-12000-16000 Hz and sequentially present the signal at the tone levels of 20, 30 and 45 dB, while starting with a tone signal of 20 dB;
• if the patient replied “There is a signal” at all frequencies at a signal level of 20 dB, then no further tests are performed and the hearing condition is assessed as excellent;
• if the patient responds “No signal” at at least one of the frequencies at a signal level of 20 dB, the next pass is triggered at a signal level of 30 dB at frequencies that were not heard at a signal level of 20 dB;
• if the patient replied “There is a signal” at all the presented frequencies at a signal level of 30 dB, then the condition is assessed as a potential risk of hearing loss;
• if the patient responds “No signal” at at least one of the frequencies at a signal level of 30 dB, the next pass is triggered at a signal level of 45 dB at frequencies that were not heard by the patient at a signal level of 30 dB;
• if the patient replied “there is a signal” at the required frequencies at a signal level of 45 dB, then the condition is assessed as the first degree of hearing loss;
• if the patient responds “No signal” at at least one of the frequencies at a signal level of 45 dB, then the condition is assessed as the second degree of hearing loss.
