A Hydrid psychoacoustic measurement system

听觉模态的功能丧失对北美数百万人的生活质量具有削弱作用。传统的“听力图”，评估在离散频率的听力灵敏度，是不足以全面描述一个人的听觉损失。心理声学测量超越了传统的听力图，提供了一个全面的评估的听觉功能。在这个项目中，我们建议加强在国家听力中心开发的原型平台，用于儿童和成人的心理声学评估。拟议的心理声学测试平台的主要特点包括：一个高度直观的软件用户界面，允许临床医生选择和运行适当的心理声学测试;丰富的多媒体和动画，激励和参与幼儿完成心理声学任务;和手持设备与高品质的无线耳机现场测量的目的。

Functional loss of the auditory modality has a debilitating effect on the quality of life of millions people in North America. The conventional "audiogram", which assesses the hearing sensitivity at discrete frequencies, is inadequate in comprehensively describing a person's auditory loss. Psychoacoustic measurements go beyond the traditional audiogram to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the auditory function. In this project, we propose to enhance a prototype platform developed at the National Centre for Audiology for psychoacoustic assessments of children and adults. Key features of the proposed psychoacoustic test platform include: a highly intuitive software user interface that allows the clinician to select and run the appropriate psychoacoustic tests; rich multimedia and animation for motivating and engaging young children in completing the psychoacoustic tasks; and a handheld device with high quality wireless headphones for field measurement purposes.
