Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hearing testing technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for determining false positive responses in an automated pure-tone hearing threshold test. Background Technology
[0002] The most common method used in existing automated hearing threshold testing is the modified Hughson-Westlake method, consistent with clinical manual testing. This involves the subject pressing a transponder button after hearing a sound, decreasing the sound intensity by 10 dB, increasing it by 5 dB if no sound is heard, and repeating this process until three out of five increases in sound intensity occur at the same intensity. This intensity is then considered the hearing threshold. This method is relatively easy to automate, and the testing time depends on the number of responses the subject makes. However, in practice, subject responses vary due to factors such as age, comprehension ability, education level, and degree of hearing loss. False positives (pressing the transponder button even when no sound is heard) can occur. A high number of false positives makes it difficult to quickly produce repeatable responses at the same intensity, prolonging the testing time, increasing the subject's fatigue, and reducing the reliability of the results. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for determining false positive reactions in automated pure tone hearing threshold testing, in order to solve the problem of decreased reliability of test results due to false positive reactions in automated hearing threshold testing.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] This invention provides a method for determining false positive responses in an automated pure-tone hearing threshold test, comprising:
[0006] A hearing threshold familiarization test was conducted on the target test subject to obtain the reaction time range of the target test subject.
[0007] The target test subject is subjected to a formal hearing threshold test by sequentially selecting the set hearing threshold test values to obtain the reaction time corresponding to the current hearing threshold test value;
[0008] The reaction time corresponding to the current hearing threshold test value is determined based on the reaction time range;
[0009] The testing process is adjusted based on the judgment results, and the process returns to the step of sequentially selecting the set hearing threshold test values to conduct a formal hearing threshold test on the target test subject to obtain the reaction time corresponding to the current hearing threshold test value, until the test result of the target test subject is determined to be a false positive reaction or the test ends based on the judgment results.
[0010] Optionally, adjusting the testing process based on the judgment result includes:
[0011] If the reaction time is within the range of the set reaction time, the target test subject will continue to undergo a formal hearing threshold test by selecting the set hearing threshold test values in sequence until the test ends.
[0012] If the reaction time is outside the specified range, the reaction will be recorded as a false positive, and the current testing process will be adjusted.
[0013] Optionally, the adjustment to the current testing process includes:

[0015] Determine if the number of accumulations exceeds a preset value;
[0016] If the number of accumulated tests does not exceed the preset value, the test parameters of the current test process are adjusted and the formal hearing threshold test is repeated.
[0017] If the accumulated number exceeds the preset value, a test prompt will be given to the target tester, and the test process will be adjusted according to the number of prompts.
[0018] Optionally, the step of re-performing the formal hearing threshold test after adjusting the test parameters of the current test process includes:
[0019] The retest reaction time is obtained by conducting a formal hearing threshold test by adjusting the test parameters, including extending the waiting time and / or increasing the sound intensity.
[0020] Compare the retested reaction time with the reaction time range;
[0021] If the retest reaction time exceeds the specified reaction time range, the retest result is determined to be a false positive, and the process returns to the step of accumulating the number of false positives.
[0022] If the retest reaction time does not exceed the reaction time range, the adjusted test parameters are adjusted a second time, and the test is returned to the target test subject to obtain the reaction time. The second adjustment is to shorten the waiting time and / or reduce the sound intensity.
[0023] Optionally, adjusting the test process based on the number of prompts includes:
[0024] Retrieve current test frequency records;
[0025] The current test frequency is recorded as the false positive frequency, and the test procedure is adjusted according to the number of occurrences of all false positive frequencies.
[0026] Optionally, adjusting the testing procedure based on the frequency of occurrence of all false positives includes:
[0027] Determine whether the false positive frequency exceeds a preset frequency value;
[0028] If the false positive rate does not exceed the preset frequency value, then after switching the test frequency, return to the step of testing the target test subject to obtain the reaction time;
[0029] If the false positive frequency exceeds the preset frequency value, the test is interrupted and the test result of the target test subject is determined to be a false positive reaction.
[0030] Optionally, the step of conducting a hearing threshold familiarization test on the target test subject to obtain the target test subject's reaction time range includes:
[0031] The target test subject was subjected to a hearing threshold familiarization test according to different hearing threshold test values to obtain the target test subject’s response habit data.

[0036] The judgment module is used to judge the reaction time corresponding to the current hearing threshold test value based on the reaction time range;
[0037] The adjustment module is used to adjust the testing process according to the judgment results, and return to the step of sequentially selecting the set hearing threshold test values to conduct a formal hearing threshold test on the target test subject to obtain the reaction time corresponding to the current hearing threshold test value, until the test result of the target test subject is determined to be a false positive reaction or the test ends based on the judgment results.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for determining false positive reactions in an automatic pure tone hearing threshold test is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0049] This embodiment provides a method for determining false positive responses in automated pure-tone hearing threshold testing, which can be used in scenarios requiring hearing threshold testing, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining false positives in this automated pure-tone hearing threshold test includes the following steps:
[0050] Step S1: Conduct a hearing threshold familiarization test on the target test subject to obtain their reaction time range. Specifically, first, explain the test requirements to the target test subject, then familiarize them with the test method by providing audio. Record the target test subject's reaction habits, such as how long after the audio is provided, how long it takes to press the responder button. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the reaction time based on the target test subject's reaction time to obtain the reaction time range. The mean and standard deviation of the data can also be replaced by selecting the mean of this age group from an existing historical testing database, based on the target test subject's age. Through the familiarization test, the target test subject can become familiar with the testing environment and understand the testing method, effectively alleviating their anxiety. Simultaneously, the reaction time range obtained from the familiarization test can be calculated based on the test results, providing data support for subsequent tests.
[0051] Step S2: Select the preset hearing threshold test values sequentially to conduct a formal hearing threshold test on the target test subject and obtain the reaction time corresponding to the current hearing threshold test value. Specifically, select the hearing threshold test values sequentially according to the preset hearing threshold test order. The hearing threshold test values are test values of different frequencies and different sound intensities. By providing the target test subject with sounds of different frequencies and intensities, the target test subject will hear sounds of various frequencies in the headphones. The sound intensity will continuously change. As soon as the target test subject hears the sound, they need to press the responder button immediately. If they do not hear the sound, they cannot press the button. The sound will gradually become quieter. As long as they can hear it, no matter how quiet the sound is, they must press the button immediately. Then, record the target test subject's reaction time to determine whether the target test subject's reaction is normal, thereby determining the hearing threshold range.
[0052] Step S3: Determine the reaction time corresponding to the current hearing threshold test value based on the reaction time range. Specifically, since the familiarization test is conducted while guiding the target test subject to cooperate with the test, the target test subject's reaction is relatively genuine, and therefore the reaction time range is also relatively accurate. By judging the reaction time in the formal test through the reaction time range, some abnormal reactions of the target test subject can be effectively screened out (for example, if the target test subject has tinnitus, and when there is no sound in the headphones, they mistakenly take the tinnitus as a signal sound and press the button, this reaction is outside the reaction time and can be judged as an abnormal reaction).
[0053] Step S4: Adjust the testing process based on the judgment results and return to step S2 until the test result of the target test subject is determined to be a false positive or the test ends based on the judgment results. Specifically, by adjusting the testing process according to the judgment results, if the abnormal reaction only occurs occasionally and the reaction is normal after adjustment, the test continues; if false positive reactions occur frequently, the test needs to be interrupted, the target test subject is determined to have a false positive reaction, and the case is handed over to staff for processing.
[0054] Through steps S1 to S4 above, the method for determining false positive reactions in the automatic pure tone hearing threshold test provided by this embodiment of the invention can obtain the normal reaction time range of the target test subject by conducting a familiarization test on the target test subject, providing data judgment support in subsequent testing processes; in subsequent testing processes, by judging and adjusting the testing process, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the target test subject has a false positive reaction, thereby improving testing efficiency and increasing the reliability of test results.
[0055] Specifically, in one embodiment, step S1 described above includes the following steps:
[0056] Step 1: Conduct a hearing threshold familiarization test on the target test subject according to different hearing threshold test values to obtain the target test subject's response habit data. Specifically, first explain the test requirements to the target test subject, and then familiarize the target test subject with the test method by providing sound; record the target test subject's response habits, such as how long after the sound is provided how long they press the responder button, and record the response habit data.
[0057] Step 2: Analyze the reaction habit data to obtain the reaction time range of the target test subject.
[0058] Specifically, based on the target test subject's reaction habit data, the mean and standard deviation of the reaction habit data are calculated to obtain the reaction time range. The mean and standard deviation data can also be replaced by selecting test data from an existing historical testing database for the target test subject's age. Familiarization testing allows the target test subject to become familiar with the testing environment and method, effectively alleviating their anxiety. Simultaneously, the reaction time range obtained from the familiarization test can be calculated, providing data support for subsequent tests.
[0059] Specifically, in one embodiment, step S4 described above includes the following steps:
[0060] Step 3: If the reaction time is within the acceptable range, continue selecting the set hearing threshold test values to conduct the formal hearing threshold test on the target test subject until the test ends. Specifically, if the reaction time is within the acceptable range, it indicates that the target test subject's reaction is accurate, and therefore the test can continue until the test ends.
[0061] Step 4: If the reaction time is outside the expected range, record this reaction as a false positive and adjust the current testing procedure. Specifically, if the reaction time is outside the expected range, it indicates that the target test subject's reaction is abnormal. The testing procedure needs to be adjusted to determine whether this abnormal reaction is occasional or if the target test subject's reaction at this stage is indeed problematic, thus increasing accuracy.
[0062] Specifically, in one embodiment, step four above includes the following steps:
[0063] Step 5: Accumulate the number of false positive reactions.
[0064] Step 6: Determine whether the number of accumulations exceeds the preset value.
[0065] Step 7: If the accumulated number of tests does not exceed the preset value, adjust the test parameters for the current test process and re-perform the formal hearing threshold test. Specifically, if the accumulated number of tests does not exceed the preset value, it indicates that the false positive reaction may be caused by the target test subject's operational error or other reasons, and adjustments are needed before retesting to increase the accuracy of the judgment result.
[0066] Step 8: If the accumulated number of tests exceeds the preset value, provide a test prompt to the target test subject and adjust the testing procedure based on the number of prompts. Specifically, if the accumulated number exceeds the preset value, it indicates that the target test subject is frequently experiencing false positive reactions, which may be due to a misunderstanding of the test requirements. Provide a test prompt to the target test subject, reiterate the test requirements, increase the reliability of the test results, and rule out the influence of some objective factors on the test.
[0067] Specifically, in one embodiment, step seven above includes the following steps:
[0068] Step Nine: Conduct a formal hearing threshold test by adjusting the test parameters to obtain the retest reaction time. Adjustments may include extending the waiting time and / or increasing the sound intensity. Specifically, for example, extend the waiting time and increase the sound intensity by 10 dB, then observe the target test subject's reaction.
[0069] Step 10: Compare the retested reaction time with the reaction time range.
[0070] Step 11: If the reaction time in the retest exceeds the acceptable range, the retest result is determined to be a false positive, and the process returns to Step 5. Specifically, if the target test subject's reaction time still exceeds the acceptable range during the retest, the retest result is considered a false positive, and the false positive count is incremented by one.
[0071] Step 12: If the retest reaction time does not exceed the reaction time range, adjust the adjusted test parameters a second time and return to test the target subject to obtain the reaction time. The second adjustment involves shortening the waiting time and / or reducing the sound intensity. Specifically, if the retest result is normal after adjustment, it indicates that the false positive reaction in the previous test may have been caused by operational errors by the target subject. Adjust the adjusted test parameters again and test, for example, shorten the waiting time and administer the sound again. This adjustment method increases the reliability of the test.
[0072] Specifically, in one embodiment, step eight described above includes the following steps:
[0073] Step 13: Obtain the current testing frequency record. Specifically, the testing frequency record includes the number of test prompts. If the number of test prompts exceeds the preset number, it indicates that the target test subject has a high number of false positive responses at this frequency.
[0074] Step Fourteen: Record the current test frequency as the false positive frequency, and adjust the test procedure based on the number of occurrences of all false positive frequencies.
[0075] Specifically, in one embodiment, step fourteen above includes the following steps:
[0076] Step 15: Determine whether the false positive rate exceeds the preset frequency value.
[0077] Step Sixteen: If the false positive rate does not exceed the preset frequency value, switch the test frequency and return to the step of testing the target subject to obtain the reaction time. Specifically, if only a certain frequency shows a large number of false positive reactions, switch the frequency to test and check if the reaction is normal.
[0078] Step 17: If the false positive frequency exceeds the preset frequency value, the test should be interrupted and the test result of the target test subject should be determined as a false positive reaction. Specifically, if a large number of false positive reactions occur at multiple frequencies, it indicates that the test result obtained by the target test subject through automatic testing is no longer accurate. The test needs to be interrupted, and the results should be recorded by staff and processed through manual testing or other methods.
