Problems solved by technology
Little automation, if any, has previously been achieved, however, in connection with the actual administration of the test.
Even after the invention of the audiometer, however, hearing testing was far from standardized, as testing varied in both procedures and determinations.
Also, supplying human test administrators to conduct tests is rather costly.

Abstract
A system for automatedly administering an audiometric test includes an audiometer for performing the test by outputting test tones, and a processor programmed for monitoring responses to the test tones, detecting an error condition, automatically delivering audible corrective instructions to address the error condition detected, and automatically resuming outputting test tones after the audible corrective instructions have been delivered without intervention by a human test administrator.
