Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to hearing tests using sound stimulation, and in particular to improvements in methods for displaying test results. Note that display means include a recorder that records on recording paper and a CRT that displays on a cathode ray tube.
There are displays etc.

In conventional hearing tests, a sound stimulus is presented to the subject's ears via a telephone receiver or speaker, the auditory response is examined, and the measurement results are displayed on a monochrome display. However, when the left ear and right ear measurements 1 - results are displayed on the same screen or on the same recording paper,
This made it difficult to compare the left and right reactions, which could lead to erroneous judgments by the examiner.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display method that allows accurate judgment to be made by clearly distinguishing the measurement results for the left ear from those for the right ear.

In order to achieve this objective, according to the present invention, in a test in which a sound stimulus is presented to the left and right ears of a subject and the auditory response is examined, a pair of The handsets are made to have different colors, and the measurement results are displayed in the same or similar color to each handset.

This causes the left and right measurement results to be displayed in different colors,
Moreover, since each color is the same as or similar to the color of the telephone receiver attached to the subject's ear, the examiner can immediately make the correspondence between the two at a glance, and therefore, the right ear can be measured. This makes it possible to make accurate and quick diagnoses without misunderstanding the left ear measurement results. On the other hand, since there is no confusion, the left and right measurement results can be displayed simultaneously on the same screen or on the same recording paper, which has the advantage of providing important clues for how to proceed with the next inspection method.

Electrical signals sent from this device are presented to the ear as sound via the right ear receiver 2 and the left ear receiver 3. Note that, for example, the color of the right ear receiver is red, and the color of the left ear receiver is blue. Reference numeral 4 denotes a response switch for the subject to indicate, for example, whether he or she can hear or not hear the presented sound. When the subject opens or closes the response switch 4, the response signal is input to the hearing testing device 1. Measurement results based on this response signal are input from the hearing test device 1 to the input ink face 6 of the display device 5 as data.

The input data is stored in the memory 7. A central processing unit (CPU) 8 also performs arithmetic processing for inputting and outputting data from the memory 7. The processed information is controlled by the display controller 9 to display the necessary image, and the color display device 10 outputs the measurement results of the right ear in red to the outside from the connector 14 via the measurement result screen 13 on the left side. You can also.
