Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2004104761

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Method and system (100) are disclosed for a multimedia user interface for an automated diagnostic hearing test. The system (100) has three main components, namely, a computer (102), and a display screen (104), and at least one transducer (106). The computer includes a user interface that provides a means for a patient to interact with the automated hearing test to complete each test. The patient is given instructions and guidance for every test, and can call the operator at any point for help. Warning messages and progress indicators are provided to help the patient gauge his progress. Such an arrangement allows the patient to test his own hearing with minimal or no assistance from an audiologist or other hearing health professional. The user interface also allows the operator to configure the automated hearing test as needed.
