METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUDIOMETRIC EARLY DETECTION, PREDICTION AND AGGREGATE TREND ANALYSIS OF NOISE-INDUCED AND OTHER PROGRESSIVE HEARING LOSS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023836 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUDIOMETRIC EARLY DETECTION, PREDICTION AND AGGREGATE TREND ANALYSIS OF NOISE-INDUCED AND OTHER PROGRESSIVE HEARING LOSS

Simplified Explanation

Methods for detecting hearing loss in an individual are disclosed. The methods utilize raw audiometric test data and transform the data into a single numerical metric that summarizes the magnitude of hearing loss specifically toward early noise-induced hearing loss. Also disclosed are systems incorporating the methods of the instant disclosure.

  • The patent application describes methods for detecting hearing loss in individuals.
  • The methods use raw audiometric test data to analyze the magnitude of hearing loss.
  • The data is transformed into a single numerical metric that specifically focuses on early noise-induced hearing loss.
  • The patent application also includes systems that incorporate these methods.

Potential Applications

  • Early detection of noise-induced hearing loss in individuals.
  • Screening programs for identifying individuals at risk of developing hearing loss.
  • Monitoring the progression of hearing loss in individuals over time.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of hearing loss prevention programs.

Problems Solved

  • Early detection of hearing loss, specifically noise-induced hearing loss, which can help in implementing timely interventions.
  • Providing a standardized metric for summarizing the magnitude of hearing loss, making it easier to compare and track changes over time.
  • Improving the accuracy and efficiency of hearing loss detection and monitoring.

Benefits

  • Early detection of hearing loss can lead to timely interventions and prevent further damage.
  • Standardized metric allows for easier comparison and tracking of hearing loss over time.
  • Improved accuracy and efficiency in detecting and monitoring hearing loss can lead to better treatment outcomes.
  • Screening programs can help identify individuals at risk and provide appropriate interventions.
