Abstract
A method of allowing a community of users to self-administer a hearing test via a computer system accessed over the Internet is disclosed. A web site is generated which is accessible by a community of users over the Internet. The web site presents a screen to a user which gives instructions on responding to sounds. Electronic data is sent to users which instructs the user's computer to generate a series of sounds at different amplitudes and frequencies. The user blocks sound to one ear and responds to sounds detected by the other ear. The responses are analyzed against a known standard to provide information on user hearing.
