[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] The embodiment of the present application provides a hearing test method, and the execution subject of the hearing test method can be the hearing test device provided in the embodiment of the present application, or an electronic device integrated with the hearing test device, wherein the hearing test device can be implemented in hardware or software. Among them, the electronic device in the present application refers to a television.

[0024] For example, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an application scenario of the hearing test method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level is determined according to the type of the audio playback component of the TV. If the current ambient sound sound pressure level is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level, the hearing test audio is calibrated according to the type of the audio playback component to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio. Then, the calibrated hearing test audio is played through the audio playback component to perform a hearing test on the subject to obtain the subject's hearing test data. Since the present application takes into account the impact of ambient sound on the hearing test when performing a hearing test on the subject, the problem of inaccurate hearing test data caused by the hearing test sound being masked by the ambient sound is avoided, and the case also calibrates the hearing test audio according to the type of audio playback component to avoid the problem of inaccurate hearing test data caused by the distortion of the hearing test audio when it is transmitted to the subject's ear. Therefore, the present application can improve the accuracy of the hearing test data measured when performing a hearing test on the subject.

[0025] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of a first process flow of the hearing test method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The specific process flow of the hearing test method provided in an embodiment of the present application may be as follows:

[0026] 101. Determine the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level based on the type of audio playback component of the television.

[0027] At present, when a subject is subjected to a hearing test, the hearing test audio can be played to the subject through an audio playback component, and the subject's hearing test data can be obtained according to the subject's perception of the hearing test audio. However, in the prior art, the hearing test data obtained when the subject is subjected to a hearing test has a low accuracy rate.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides a hearing test method that can solve the above technical problems.

[0029] The audio playback component refers to a component that can play audio, for example, the audio playback component can be a speaker or earphones.

[0030] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the audio playback component is mainly used to play the hearing test audio.

[0031] It should be noted that in order to prevent the hearing test sound from being masked by the ambient sound, the hearing test method provided in this application has requirements for the sound pressure level of the ambient sound. In addition, when the hearing test audio is played through different audio playback components to perform a hearing test on the subject, the requirements for the ambient sound are also different. Therefore, the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level that will not interfere with the hearing test results when performing a hearing test through different types of audio playback components can be measured separately.

[0032] For example, when a hearing test is performed on a subject by playing a hearing test audio through a speaker, the first maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level corresponding to the speaker can be obtained. When the current ambient sound sound pressure level is less than the first maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level, it means that the current ambient sound is suitable for using the speaker for a hearing test. The speaker can be a built-in speaker of the TV or an external speaker.

[0033] For another example, when a hearing test is performed on a subject by playing hearing test audio through headphones, the second maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level corresponding to the headphones can be obtained. When the current ambient sound pressure level is less than the second maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level, it indicates that the current ambient sound is suitable for using headphones for a hearing test.

[0034] It should be noted that the above two types of audio playback components are divided according to the different propagation paths of the audio played by the audio playback components. For example, the hearing test audio is output from the hearing test software in the TV, reaches the speaker through the signal link of the TV, and emits the hearing test audio through the speaker. The emitted hearing test audio is then transmitted through the air medium to reach the human ear. It can be seen that when playing the hearing test audio through the speaker, in addition to the signal link and the speaker itself as part of the transmission path, it also needs to be transmitted to the human ear through the air medium. Compared with the speaker, the loss of the hearing test audio by the air medium on the transmission path of the earphone is negligible.

[0035] The maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level may be obtained by testing by those skilled in the art.

[0036] 102. If the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level, calibrate the hearing test audio according to the type of the audio playback component to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio.

[0037] For example, the ambient sound in the current environment can be collected by a microphone built into the TV, and the sound pressure level of the ambient sound can be calculated to obtain the current ambient sound pressure level.

[0038] It can be understood that when the current ambient sound pressure level is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level, it means that the current type of audio playback component is suitable for playing the hearing test audio to perform a hearing test on the subject under the current ambient sound.

[0039] It should be noted that when the hearing test audio passes through the propagation path and reaches the human ear, its sound pressure level will attenuate along the propagation path. Therefore, when performing a hearing test based on different types of audio playback components, the embodiment of the present application will perform corresponding audio calibration on the hearing test audio based on the audio calibration strategies corresponding to different types of audio playback components, so that the hearing test audio is transmitted to the subject's ear at the sound pressure level of the current test.

[0040] For example, when testing the subject's perception of a hearing test audio of a certain frequency, the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio will be increased according to a fixed step size to test the subject's perception at different sound pressure levels. If the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio of the frequency currently being tested is 40 decibels, then it is necessary to provide the subject with a hearing test audio with a sound pressure level of 40 decibels. However, since the hearing test audio will attenuate or lose on the propagation path between it and the human ear, when it reaches the human ear, the sound pressure level heard by the human ear may be only 35 decibels. The hearing test data obtained in this case is obviously inaccurate. Therefore, in order to make the sound pressure level heard by the subject be 40 decibels, it is necessary to increase the decibel value of playing the hearing test audio accordingly, which corresponds to the calibration of the hearing test audio provided in this application.

[0041] 103. Perform a hearing test on the subject by playing the calibrated hearing test audio through the audio playback component to obtain hearing test data of the subject.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the hearing test audio is calibrated accordingly according to the audio calibration strategies corresponding to different types of audio playback components. After the calibrated hearing test audio is obtained, the hearing test is performed on the subject by playing the calibrated hearing test audio through the current type of audio playback component to obtain the hearing test data of the subject.

[0043] In specific implementation, the present application is not limited by the execution order of the various steps described. If no conflict occurs, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, the hearing test method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level according to the type of the audio playback component of the TV; if the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level, the hearing test audio is calibrated according to the type of the audio playback component to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio; the hearing test is performed on the subject by playing the calibrated hearing test audio through the audio playback component to obtain the hearing test data of the subject. Since the present application takes into account the influence of ambient sound on the hearing test when performing a hearing test on the subject, the problem of inaccurate hearing test data caused by the hearing test sound being masked by the ambient sound is avoided, and the present case also calibrates the hearing test audio according to the type of the audio playback component to avoid the problem of inaccurate hearing test data caused by the distortion of the hearing test audio when it is transmitted to the subject's ear. Therefore, the present application can improve the accuracy of the hearing test data measured when performing a hearing test on the subject.

[0045] The method described in the above embodiments is further described in detail below with examples.

[0046] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a second process flow of the hearing test method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The specific process flow of the hearing test method provided in an embodiment of the present application may be as follows:

[0047] 201. Determine a maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level according to the type of audio playback components of the television.

[0048] It should be noted that in order to prevent the hearing test sound from being masked by the ambient sound, the hearing test method provided in this application has requirements for the sound pressure level of the ambient sound. In addition, when the hearing test audio is played through different audio playback components to perform a hearing test on the subject, the requirements for the ambient sound are also different. Therefore, the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level that will not interfere with the hearing test results when performing a hearing test through different types of audio playback components can be measured separately.

[0049] For example, when a hearing test is performed on a subject by playing a hearing test audio through a speaker, the first maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level corresponding to the speaker can be obtained. When the current ambient sound sound pressure level is less than the first maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level, it means that the current ambient sound is suitable for using the speaker for a hearing test. The speaker can be a built-in speaker of the TV or an external speaker.

[0050] For another example, when a hearing test is performed on a subject by playing hearing test audio through headphones, the second maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level corresponding to the headphones can be obtained. When the current ambient sound pressure level is less than the second maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level, it indicates that the current ambient sound is suitable for using headphones for a hearing test.

[0051] It should be noted that the above two types of audio playback components are divided according to the different propagation paths of the audio played by the audio playback components. For example, the hearing test audio is output from the hearing test software in the TV, reaches the speaker through the signal link of the TV, and emits the hearing test audio through the speaker. The emitted hearing test audio is then transmitted through the air medium to reach the human ear. It can be seen that when playing the hearing test audio through the speaker, in addition to the signal link and the speaker itself as part of the transmission path, it also needs to be transmitted to the human ear through the air medium. Compared with the speaker, the loss of the hearing test audio by the air medium on the transmission path of the earphone is negligible.

[0052] The maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level may be obtained by testing by those skilled in the art.

[0053] 202. If the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level, calibrate the hearing test audio according to the type of the audio playback component to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio.

[0054] It can be understood that when the current ambient sound pressure level is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level, it means that the current type of audio playback component is suitable for playing the hearing test audio to perform a hearing test on the subject under the current ambient sound.

[0055] It should be noted that when the hearing test audio reaches the human ear through the propagation path, its sound pressure level will be attenuated on the propagation path. For example, when a hearing test audio with a sound pressure level of 40 decibels is provided to the subject, due to the loss of the hearing test sound during the propagation process, the subject hears a sound of 30 decibels. Then, calibrating the hearing test audio in this application means increasing the decibel value of the played hearing test audio accordingly so that the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio heard by the subject is 40 decibels.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, due to the different propagation paths through which the audio played by the audio playback component passes, when performing a hearing test based on different types of audio playback components, a corresponding audio calibration strategy is determined based on the different types of audio playback components, and the hearing test audio is calibrated accordingly so that the hearing test audio is transmitted to the subject's ears at the sound pressure level of the current test.

[0057] In one embodiment, when the audio playback component is a speaker, a first correspondence between the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio and the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio after being played through the speaker is obtained, and the hearing test audio is calibrated according to the first correspondence to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio.

[0058] The sound pressure level of the hearing test audio refers to the sound pressure level of the current test. For example, if the frequency of the hearing test audio is 2000HZ and the sound pressure level is 50dB, the current sound pressure level refers to 50dB. The sound pressure level of the hearing test audio after it is played through the speaker refers to the sound pressure level of the 50dB hearing test audio after it is played.

[0059] In addition, since sound is attenuated when propagating in the air medium, the farther away from the sound source, the lower the sound pressure level of the sound emitted by the sound source. When the hearing test audio is played through a speaker, the hearing test audio needs to propagate through a certain distance of air medium to reach the human ear. Therefore, in order to further ensure that the sound pressure level heard by the subject is the sound pressure level of the current test, the distance between the subject and the speaker can be obtained, and the hearing test audio can be calibrated according to the first corresponding relationship and the distance to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio.

[0060] Specifically, for example, when the audio playback component is a speaker, the hearing test audio is output from the hearing test software in the TV, reaches the speaker through the TV's signal link, and the sound from the speaker is transmitted through the air medium to reach the subject's ear. This sound transmission process will affect the sound, and except for extremely rare cases, it will generally change the sound pressure level. In order to ensure that the sound reaches the subject at the current test sound pressure level, the sound output by the hearing test software needs to be calibrated.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio before and after passing through the entire sound propagation path can be tested first, that is, the sound pressure level of the above-mentioned hearing test audio and the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio after being played through the speaker, and then the quantitative relationship between the two sound pressure levels is calculated, and then the inverse relationship of this quantitative relationship is calculated, thereby determining a calibration algorithm, which corresponds to the above-mentioned first corresponding relationship. In addition, considering the influence of the air medium on the sound, the distance between the subject and the speaker is further obtained here, and the hearing test audio is calibrated according to the first corresponding relationship and the distance to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio.

[0062] In one embodiment, when the audio playback component is an earphone, a third correspondence between the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio and the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio after being played through the earphone is obtained, and the hearing test audio is calibrated according to the third correspondence to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio.

[0063] Specifically, for example, when the audio playback component is headphones, the hearing test audio is output from the hearing test software in the TV, passes through the TV's signal link, and then reaches the subject's ears through Bluetooth transmission and headphone playback. This sound transmission process will generally also have an impact on the sound, changing the sound pressure level of the sound. In order to ensure that the sound reaches the human ear at the current test sound pressure level, it is also necessary to measure the impact of the entire sound propagation path on the sound pressure level.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio before and after the entire sound link can be measured, that is, the sound pressure level of the above-mentioned hearing test audio and the sound pressure level of the hearing test audio after being played through headphones, and the quantitative relationship between the two sound pressure levels is obtained, and the quantitative relationship is inverted to determine a calibration algorithm, that is, corresponding to the above-mentioned third corresponding relationship, and the hearing test audio is calibrated according to the third corresponding relationship.

[0065] In one embodiment, before the process of "if the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level, calibrating the hearing test audio according to the type of the audio playback component to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio", the following process may also be included:

[0066] (1) Obtain the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound;

[0067] For example, the ambient sound in the current environment can be collected by a microphone built into the TV, and the sound pressure level of the ambient sound can be calculated to obtain the current ambient sound pressure level.

[0068] (2) obtaining a second correspondence between the sound pressure level of the ambient sound and the sound pressure level of the ambient sound collected by the television;

[0069] The audio acquisition component may be a microphone built into the television.

[0070] For example, a second correspondence between the sound pressure level of the ambient sound test audio and the sound pressure level collected by the audio collection component of the TV after the ambient sound test audio is played can be obtained. The ambient sound test audio can be any audio within the sound frequency range audible to the human ear.

[0071] For example, the ambient sound test audio being played is actually 20 decibels, but the ambient sound collected by the audio acquisition device of the TV is 15 decibels. In order to ensure the accuracy of the ambient sound acquisition, the second corresponding relationship can be generated based on the quantitative relationship between the sound pressure level of the ambient sound test audio actually played and the sound pressure level of the ambient sound test audio collected by the audio component of the TV after playing the ambient sound test audio, and the actual ambient sound sound pressure level can be calculated based on the second corresponding relationship. It can be understood that when obtaining the second corresponding relationship, in order to avoid the attenuation of sound by the air medium, the sound source of the ambient sound test audio can be placed close to the audio acquisition component.

[0072] It should be noted that the second corresponding relationship mainly reflects the change of the audio by the audio acquisition device of the television itself.

[0073] (3) calibrating the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound according to the second corresponding relationship to obtain the calibrated sound pressure level of the current ambient sound;

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound is calibrated according to the second corresponding relationship to obtain the calibrated sound pressure level of the current ambient sound. After obtaining the calibrated sound pressure level of the current ambient sound, it is possible to determine whether the current environment is suitable for a hearing test by determining whether the calibrated ambient sound pressure level is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level, thereby making the hearing test data measured when performing a hearing test on the subject more accurate.

[0075] 203. Play calibrated hearing test audios of different sound pressure levels and frequencies to the subject through the audio playback component.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the audio playback component can provide the subject with a hearing test audio with a sound pressure level of -10 to 70 decibels, preferably at least including 0 to 70 decibels, and the frequency of the hearing test audio includes at least 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hz.

[0077] For example, the audio playback component can sequentially provide the subject with hearing test audios of different frequencies, and play the hearing test audios of each frequency with the sound pressure level attenuated from large to small according to a fixed step length. The fixed step length can be specifically set by those skilled in the art as needed, such as 5 decibels or 10 decibels, which is not specifically limited here.

[0078] 204. Obtain the subject's perceptual feedback on the calibrated hearing test audio at different sound pressure levels and different frequencies.

[0079] Among them, perceptual feedback refers to the feedback that the subject hears and does not hear to the calibrated hearing test audio of different sound pressure levels and frequencies, so that the sound pressure level range of the sound at each frequency that the subject can hear can be determined based on the feedback given by the subject.

[0080] For example, when testing a subject's hearing to a sound with a frequency of 2000 Hz, you can start from 0 dB and gradually increase the sound pressure level of the corresponding hearing test audio in steps of 5 dB, and obtain feedback on what the subject can and cannot hear at each sound pressure level.

[0081] 205. Determine the hearing test data of the subject based on the perceptual feedback.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, the subject's perceptual feedback on hearing and not hearing calibrated hearing test audio of different sound pressure levels and different frequencies can be obtained, and the subject's hearing test data can be determined based on the perceptual feedback.

[0083] After the hearing test data of the subject is obtained, the hearing compensation parameters of the subject can be determined according to the hearing test data, and the audio output of the subject can be compensated according to the hearing compensation parameters.

[0084] For example, according to the hearing test data of subject A, it is known that when subject A listens to a sound with a frequency of 1000HZ, a sound pressure level of 60 decibels is required for subject A to listen normally. Therefore, when the TV plays sound at a fixed sound pressure level, for example, the TV plays sound at a sound pressure level of 40 decibels, when the TV plays a sound of 1000HZ, a sound pressure level of 60 decibels needs to be provided to subject A, that is, a sound pressure level compensation of 20 decibels is required to compensate for the audio output of user A.

[0085] It should be noted that if a speaker is used to play the hearing test audio, the hearing test data of both ears is tested. If headphones are used to play the hearing test audio, the hearing test data of the left ear and the right ear can be tested separately.

[0086] As can be seen from the above, the hearing test method proposed in the embodiment of the present application determines the maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level according to the type of the audio playback component of the TV; if the current ambient sound sound pressure level is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level, the hearing test audio is calibrated according to the type of the audio playback component to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio; the hearing test is performed on the subject by playing the calibrated hearing test audio through the audio playback component to obtain the hearing test data of the subject. Since the present application takes into account the influence of ambient sound on the hearing test when performing a hearing test on the subject, the problem of inaccurate hearing test data caused by the hearing test sound being masked by the ambient sound is avoided, and the present case also calibrates the hearing test audio according to the type of the audio playback component to avoid the problem of inaccurate hearing test data caused by the distortion of the hearing test audio when it is transmitted to the subject's ear. Therefore, the present application can improve the accuracy of the hearing test data measured when performing a hearing test on the subject.

[0087] In one embodiment, a hearing test device is also provided. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of a hearing test device 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The hearing test device 300 is applied to a television, and includes a determination module 301, a calibration module 302, and a hearing test module 303, as follows:

[0088] A determination module 301 is used to determine a maximum allowable ambient sound pressure level according to the type of the audio playback component of the television;

[0089] The calibration module 302 is used to calibrate the hearing test audio according to the type of the audio playback component to obtain the calibrated hearing test audio if the sound pressure level of the current ambient sound is less than the maximum allowable ambient sound sound pressure level;

[0090] The hearing test module 303 is used to perform a hearing test on the subject by playing the calibrated hearing test audio through the audio playing component to obtain the hearing test data of the subject.
