Abstract
A headset-based hearing tester and hearing aid programming instrument featuring an electronic module shaped as a headband having a connected acoustic transducer module. The electronic module includes microcontroller, internal and plug-in external memory for storage of program code and patient data. The headset instrument in conjunction with a hand-held patient response device is capable of automatic hearing testing. The produced audio stimuli including test tones, speech and verbal instructions are retrieved from external memory cards. The instrument automatically computes fitting parameters and is capable of programming a programmable hearing aid via a port for direct wire programming or via wireless methods including inductive coil coupling to a hearing aid equipped with a receiving coil.
