我们使用远程计算技术对远程社区的受试者进行纯音和耳声发射测试。15名男性和15名女性接受了测试，年龄从18岁到30岁不等。听力计被用来测量受试者的纯音阈值。此外，使用便携式系统记录失真产物耳声发射(DPOAES)数据。这两个系统都连接到一台连接到米诺特州立大学(MSU)局域网的PC上。1100公里外的犹他州立大学的一名考官可以同时控制密歇根州立大学的DPOAE和听力计设备。总体而言，面对面和远程医疗试验的纯音平均值在每个频率上是相同的。此外，在远程医疗和面对面试验中，DPOAE记录在每个频率上都显示出相同的结果。这些结果支持使用远程计算作为远程医疗方法，向遥远的社区提供纯音测听和DPOAE测试。
We administered pure tone and otoacoustic emissions testing to subjects in a distant community using remote computing technology. Fifteen men and 15 women ranging in age from 18-30 years were tested. An audiometer was used to measure subject pure tone thresholds. In addition, distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) data were recorded using a portable system. Both systems were interfaced to a PC which was connected to the local area network at Minot State University (MSU). An examiner at Utah State University, 1100 km away, could control both the DPOAE and the audiometer equipment at MSU. Overall, the pure tone means for the face-to-face and telemedicine trials were equivalent at each frequency. Moreover, DPOAE recordings exhibited equivalent results at each frequency for telemedicine and face-to-face trials. These results support the use of remote computing as a telemedicine method for providing pure tone audiometry and DPOAE testing to distant communities.
