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.
