Abstract/Summary
Hearing capacity testing is a widely known and useful technique/process that would enable a user/patient to determine his/her hearing condition. It is done in several methods with the use of several gadgets. Of these methods, pure-tone audiometry is used as the primary method for initial testing, and the gadget used is called an audiometer. However, such gadgets will prove to be expensive and are hard to acquire. The process of which hearing testing is done is not very simple. It requires precise output of audio signals, consisting of calibrated frequencies and careful delivery of amplitude. The HearSeeker will do such basic requirements. The main process will be controlled by a personal computer. This enables the user to have his or her hearing tested without the presence of a second party for procedure-controlling purposes. The PC keeps track of the signal interrupt of the user, and saves the data for future reference. In essence, the HearSeeker will instigate hearing testing to be more flexible, portable, and inexpensive. The results will be presented in an audiogram form. This method of result display is based on standards used in medical institutions, in order for the results to be easily interpreted by experts.
