According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a system for audiometric assessment and user-specific acoustic enhancement, comprising an audiometry management module, a tone generator coupled to the audiometry management module and adapted to generate streams of acoustical output, and a hearing profile data file, is disclosed. According to the embodiment, the audiometry management module, in a plurality of sessions, instructs the tone generator to send a series of streams of acoustical output of varying acoustical intensity, and, on receiving a series of user responses responsive to audible perception of sounds generated from the streams of acoustical data, the audiometric management module determines, for each of a plurality of frequencies, a hearing threshold, and stores at least that threshold in the hearing profile data file.

The invention discloses an autonomous fitting hearing aid system based on an intelligent terminal. The system comprises an ear hearing aid used for realizing hearing compensation and a mobile intelligent terminal used for realizing audiometry and fitting. The ear hearing aid and the mobile intelligent terminal carry out wireless communication. In a fitting method, through a questionnaire and audiometry of left and right ears respectively, a hearing condition of a user is acquired. Based on the hearing condition, a hearing map and hearing damage state data are made; hearing compensation prescriptions of left and right ears of the user are generated so as to acquire different voice frequencies of the left and right ears of the user and different sound strength gains, parameters are arranged on hardware of the ear hearing aid, and then a voice signal received by a microphone is segmented according to a frequency, and different amplification and compression are adopted for voices with different frequency ranges. A noise suppression algorithm is used to restrain noises generated by an environment and a hearing aid circuit. Signals of each frequency range are synthesized and finally the synthesized voice signal is output through a loudspeaker. By using the system and the method, fitting cost of the hearing aid user can be greatly reduced.

The invention relates to a method for sound source localization based on horizontal audiometry. The method comprises the following steps: (1) in a standard sound-insulating dark room, eight loudspeakers are distributed uniformly in a circle with a 50 cm radius, a test subject is the centre of the circle and at the same height as the circle, and the included angle of two adjacent loudspeakers is kept at 45 degrees; (2) eyes of the subject are covered with a black fabric; (3) one of the eight loudspeakers is randomly allowed to make a sound for 40 microseconds with a time interval of 5 seconds,totally 100 times in one test cycle; and (4) the total error is calculated, which is the sum of absolute values of difference between actual position and estimated position of the sound source in thetotal 100 tests, and the test accuracy rate is calculated, which is the percentage of times when the subject accurately judges the sound source position. The method is simple and feasible, and has high test accuracy and complete functions.

The invention discloses a hood-type audiometric device. The device comprises a shell and earshields, wherein the earshields are connected with sound production devices; a sound isolation layer is arranged between each earshield and the shell; a seal part is arranged on the outer edge of each earshield and the shell. According to the device, external noise can be effectively isolated since the sound isolation layer is arranged between the shell and each earshield and seal parts are the outer edge of the shell and each earshield, a silence space is formed for the ears of a detected person to ensure normal performance of listening tests. The hood type audiometric device can be used for carrying out listening tests as long as the device is worn on the head of the detected person during testing and does not need to be used in a sound isolation room, is convenient to carry, and has wide application.
