If the identification is correct, the process proceeds to step S4; if the identification is incorrect, the process proceeds to step S5; S4, the computer controls the sound-generating device to reduce the sound pressure and then play another set of sounds and corresponding graphic images, and then repeats steps S2-S3; S5. Determine whether the cumulative number of identification errors exceeds 3 times. If yes, the test ends. If not, proceed to step S6. S6, the computer controls the sound-generating device to increase the sound pressure and then play the same set of sounds and corresponding graphic images, and then proceeds to step S7; S7, the subject points by operating the response button based on the sound heard and the graphic image displayed on the display device; S8. The computer determines whether the identification is correct based on the subject's response operation. If the identification is correct, the test ends. If the identification is incorrect, the process proceeds to step S5.

[0007] In some embodiments, the hearing monitoring system further comprises a data line, and the host is electrically connected to the computer via the data line, so that the data of the timer and the counter can be fed back to the computer via the data line and stored.

[0011] In some embodiments, the timer is used to record the sound playback duration of the sound-generating device and the screen display duration of the display device.

[0012] In some embodiments, the response button is connected to a counter and a timer. The counter can record the number of responses, and the timer can record the duration of the response.

[0013] In some implementations, the memory stores at least an independent graphic image file package, an independent sound file package, or a mixed file package of graphic images and sounds.

[0014] In some embodiments, the transformation of the graphic image displayed by the display device can drive the change of the pull bar of the display interface of the auditory encoding device.

[0015] In some embodiments, a computer can be used to control the display device to first play the graphic image and then play the sound through the sound device, or to first play the sound through the sound device and then play the graphic image on the display device.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention discloses a novel method for monitoring hearing using visual data, wherein a computer controls a display device to play a set of graphic images, and simultaneously plays sounds in a file package through a sound-generating device. The subject operates a response button to identify the graphic image according to the sounds heard. When the identification is correct, the sound-generating device reduces the sound pressure and plays another set of sounds. At the same time, the display device displays the corresponding graphic image. The subject touches the response button again to identify the image according to the sounds heard. After the second identification is correct, the sound-generating device further reduces the sound pressure and plays the sound again. The above operation is repeated until an identification error occurs. When an identification error occurs, the sound-generating device first increases the sound pressure, and then repeatedly plays the graphic image and sound when the identification error occurs. The subject identifies according to the sounds heard. If the identification is correct, the test ends. If the identification is wrong, the sound-generating device further increases the sound pressure, and then repeatedly plays the graphic image and sound when the identification error occurs. The subject identifies according to the sounds heard. The above operation is repeated. If the identification is correct, the test ends. If the identification error accumulates to three times, the test ends directly. During the test, the subject's gaze moves according to the graphics displayed on the display device. For example, when two words are played, the subject's gaze moves from one display device to another. Therefore, the subject's visual data is actually obtained during the test. Through the above method, the subject's hearing data can be obtained while the subject observes the graphic images on the display device and responds by pressing the response button, thereby realizing hearing monitoring. Not only is the process easy, but also the hearing data is highly accurate and has strong reference value based on the subject's autonomous operation and visual data.

[0030] The present invention discloses a novel method for monitoring hearing using visual data. The method controls a display device 4 to play a set of graphic images (for example, displaying "bread," "strawberry," and "banana" on three display devices 4 in sequence). At the same time, a sound in a file package (for example, "strawberry," "bread," and "banana") is played through a sound generating device 3. The subject operates a response button 6 according to the sounds heard to identify the graphic images (for example, pressing response button B, response button A, and response button C in sequence, with response button B corresponding to the display device displaying the "strawberry" image, response button A corresponding to the display device displaying the "bread" image, and response button C corresponding to the display device displaying the "banana" image).

After the second identification is correct, the sound-emitting device 3 will further reduce the sound pressure and give sound again, and repeat the above operation until an identification error occurs; when an identification error occurs, the sound-emitting device 3 will first increase the sound pressure, and then repeatedly play the graphic image and sound when the identification error occurs, and the subject will identify according to the sound heard. If it is confirmed to be correct, the test is terminated; if the identification is wrong, the sound-emitting device 3 will further increase the sound pressure, and then repeatedly play the graphic image and sound when the identification error occurs, and the subject will identify according to the sound heard; repeat the above action, and if it is confirmed to be correct, the test is terminated; if the identification error accumulates to three times, the test is also terminated directly.
