Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application discloses a tinnitus comprehensive detection method and system of an air conduction type hearing aid, and belongs to the tinnitus detection field. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tinnitus is an abnormal sound hallucination such as hum and squeal produced in the ear or in the skull of a detector in the absence of external sound sources. The sound sensation can be one or more than one and lasts for a certain time. Tinnitus itself is not a disease, but a symptom of some diseases. The detector with hearing loss is often accompanied by tinnitus, and tinnitus is often a symptom of the hearing system disorder.

[0003] Tinnitus is divided into physiological tinnitus and symptomatic tinnitus. The physiological tinnitus can be caused by overwork, but the symptomatic tinnitus is caused by hearing disorder. In order to distinguish the severity of tinnitus of the detector, the existing technology needs to use a tinnitus detection device to detect the tinnitus state. However, the physiological tinnitus can be distinguished without the professional tinnitus detection device, and the use of the tinnitus detection device for detection can cause waste of medical resources. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the application is to overcome the problem in the prior art that physiological tinnitus can be distinguished without the professional tinnitus detection device, and the use of the tinnitus detection device for detection can cause waste of medical resources.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the application provides the following technical scheme. The method comprises the following steps: S1, first, the normal hearing range of the detector is detected through pure tone threshold test of the hearing aid. The hearing range of the detector is judged by continuously adjusting the size of the played sound. The hearing range of the detector in the two states is compared, and the type of tinnitus of the detector is preliminarily judged. S2, the hearing range of the detector when tinnitus occurs is detected through pure tone threshold test of the hearing aid. The hearing range of the detector in the two states is compared, and the type of tinnitus of the detector is preliminarily judged. S3, according to the detection result of the hearing range, the corresponding simulated tinnitus sound in the medical case is selected, the simulated tinnitus sound is played through the hearing aid, and the size of the simulated tinnitus sound is adjusted according to the hearing range of the detector. The simulated tinnitus sound corresponding to the self-generated tinnitus sound is selected by the detector. S4, if the detector cannot select the simulated tinnitus sound corresponding to the self-generated tinnitus sound from the simulated tinnitus sound, a large amount of simulated audio is played to the detector, the simulated audio is continuously adjusted from small to large according to the fluctuation frequency of the sound, and the corresponding simulated audio is selected by the detector.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S1, the hearing aid first plays a single text audio within the normal range of human hearing, and the audio is controlled within 0-25 decibels. If the tester can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it is judged that the hearing range of the tester is normal. If the tester cannot hear the text audio within 0-25 decibels, the hearing aid is controlled to play text audio of 25-40 decibels. If the tester can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it is judged that the tester is mildly deaf. If the tester cannot hear the text audio within 25-40 decibels, the hearing aid is controlled to play text audio of 40-70 decibels. If the tester can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it is judged that the tester is moderately deaf. If the tester cannot hear the text audio within 40-70 decibels, the hearing aid is controlled to play text audio of 70-90 decibels. If the tester can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it is judged that the tester is severely deaf.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S2, during the process of detecting tinnitus in the tester, the hearing aid plays the minimum decibel sound that can be heard in the normal state. If the tester can accurately distinguish the text, it is judged that the tester is less affected by tinnitus. If the tester cannot distinguish the text, the decibels of the sound are continuously increased until the tester can correctly distinguish the played text. At this time, the difference between the decibels of the sound and the minimum decibels that the tester can hear in the normal state is large, which represents that the tester is more affected by tinnitus.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S3, the recorded tinnitus sound is selected and played through the hearing aid. The recorded tinnitus sound has corresponding cases. The size of the sound is adjusted within the range that the tester can hear when the hearing aid plays. If the same simulated tinnitus sound as the tester is found, the condition of the tester can be judged according to the source of the simulated tinnitus sound.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in step S4, a one-end simulated audio is first edited, and then the audio is continuously frequency-modulated by the processing module of the hearing aid. The audio is played once for each frequency modulation. The tester continuously listens to the simulated audio and distinguishes the difference from the tinnitus sound. Finally, the same simulated audio as the tinnitus sound can be selected: A tinnitus comprehensive detection system of an air-conduction hearing aid, comprising the following modules: The processing module adjusts the audio played by the hearing aid, and the processing module can adjust the received audio in decibels and frequency; The playing module plays the analog audio received by the hearing aid; The hearing detection module controls the processing module to send detection text audio of different decibels to the playing module; The tinnitus sound comparison module controls the processing module to send analog audio of different frequencies to the playing module.

[0010] The method first detects the normal hearing range of the detector through pure tone threshold testing by the hearing aid, judges the hearing range of the detector by continuously adjusting the size of the played sound, and determines whether there is hearing loss, and the degree and type of hearing loss, through pure tone threshold testing, which can evaluate the auditory response of the subject under different frequencies and intensities of pure tone stimulation.

[0015] In step S1, the hearing aid first plays a single text audio according to the normal range of human ear hearing, and the played audio is controlled within 0-25 decibels, if the subject can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it can be judged that the hearing range of the subject is normal; If the subject cannot hear the text audio within 0-25 decibels, control the hearing aid to issue a text audio of 25-40 decibels, if the subject can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it can be judged that the subject is mildly deaf; If the subject cannot hear the text audio within 25-40 decibels, control the hearing aid to issue a text audio of 40-70 decibels, if the subject can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it can be judged that the subject is moderately deaf; If the subject cannot hear the text audio within 40-70 decibels, control the hearing aid to issue a text audio of 70-90 decibels, if the subject can hear the played text audio and correctly feedback the text, it can be judged that the subject is severely deaf; The role of threshold test in tinnitus diagnosis mainly reflects in the following aspects: 1. Determine the degree of hearing loss, pure tone threshold test can evaluate the auditory response of the subject under different frequency and intensity of pure tone stimulation, so as to determine whether there is hearing loss, and the degree and type of hearing loss; 2. Assist in diagnosing the cause of tinnitus, through pure tone threshold test, the doctor can preliminarily judge the type of tinnitus, such as conductive deafness, sensorineural hearing loss, etc., which is helpful for further diagnosis of the possible causes of tinnitus, such as otitis media, neural deafness, etc.; 3. Monitor the effect of treatment, pure tone threshold test can be used to monitor the change of hearing loss of the subject, evaluate the effect of treatment, so as to adjust the treatment scheme in time; 4. Provide hearing protection advice. According to the results of pure tone audiometry, the doctor can provide hearing protection advice for the subject, such as avoiding noise exposure, in order to prevent potential hearing impairment.

[0016] In the process of detecting tinnitus in the step S2, the minimum decibel sound audible in normal state is played through the hearing aid, if the tester can accurately distinguish the text, it can be judged that the degree of influence of tinnitus on the tester is small; If the tester cannot distinguish the text, the decibel of the sound is increased constantly until the tester can correctly distinguish the played text, at this time, the difference between the decibel of the sound and the minimum decibel audible in normal state of the tester is large, which represents that the greater the degree of influence of tinnitus on the tester; There is no connection between the text set each time in the text audio, which prevents the tester from subjectively judging the subsequent text according to the connection of the text.

[0017] In the step S3, the recorded tinnitus sound is selected to be played through the hearing aid. The recorded tinnitus sound has corresponding cases. The size of the sound is adjusted within the range that the tester can hear when the hearing aid plays.

These audios are adjusted to the appropriate decibel after processing and played to the tester. The tester will listen to the audio under different decibels to prevent the cause of hearing impairment from causing the tester to be unable to distinguish the difference between the audio and the tinnitus sound.

[0018] In step S4, a simulated audio is first edited, and then the processing module of the hearing aid continuously adjusts the frequency of the audio. The audio is played once for each frequency adjustment. The tester continuously listens to the simulated audio to distinguish the difference between the simulated audio and the tinnitus sound, and finally the same simulated audio as the tinnitus sound can be selected: A tinnitus comprehensive detection system of an air conduction type hearing aid, comprising the following modules: A processing module, which adjusts the audio to be played by the hearing aid through the processing module.
