Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to acoustic detection technology, in particular to a method and system for detecting sound pressure of an eardrum. Background technique [0002] The auditory system is one of the five sensory systems of human beings, and it is an important channel for human beings to perceive and understand the sound world around them. The human auditory system perceives sound as follows: the outer ear collects sound waves, passes through the ear canal to the tympanic membrane, and the tympanic membrane converts sound energy (changes in air pressure) into its own vibrations. The vibrations are transmitted by the ossicles to the fluid-filled cochlea, where vibrations in the hair cells inside the cochlea cause nerve impulses. These impulses are transmitted from the auditory nerve to the auditory center, and finally analyzed and interpreted by the auditory cortex as meaningful sound information. Part of the sound energy entering the ear canal will ...

[0006] However, the main disadvantages of the probe measurement method are: (1) Use pure tone (fixed frequency sine wave) to measure limited frequency points, and the measured frequency points are far apart (generally measure 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 8kHz and other standard frequencies), the measurement time for the entire hearing frequency range is long, and the frequency resolution and detection efficiency are not high; Strong discomfort, the micro-probe has potential damage to the tympanic membrane, and long-term measurement can easily cause the subject to shake slightly, which will cause the probe to move and the measurement r
