Development and Beta Validation of an mHealth-Based Hearing Screener (SRESHT) for Young Children in Resource-Limited Countries: Pilot Validation Study

Development and Beta Validation of an mHealth-Based Hearing Screener (SRESHT) for Young Children in Resource-Limited Countries: Pilot Validation Study

For example, behavioral observation audiometry (BOA) is reported to be less accurate as it is often performed informally using uncalibrated stimuli without standardization of intensity, frequency, and distance [11,26-28]. Yet, recognizing the inequity in the availability of testing tools, the World Health Organization’s guidelines for implementing community-based childhood hearing screening include the recommendation of using subjective-based screening tools [29].

An Initial Validation of Community-Based Air-Conduction Audiometry in Adults With Simulated Hearing Impairment Using a New Web App, DigiBel: Validation Study

An Initial Validation of Community-Based Air-Conduction Audiometry in Adults With Simulated Hearing Impairment Using a New Web App, DigiBel: Validation Study

These children may face months of impaired hearing before diagnosis and management due to backlogs in audiometry and specialist services. Hearing thresholds are assessed using pure tone audiometry (PTA) with air-conduction (AC) headphones and bone-conduction (BC) transducers. This usually requires specialist equipment and trained clinicians.

App-Based Hearing Screenings in Preschool Children With Different Types of Headphones: Diagnostic Study

App-Based Hearing Screenings in Preschool Children With Different Types of Headphones: Diagnostic Study

The children’s hearing threshold was evaluated using air-conduction pure tone audiometry at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 k Hz. Participants with hearing loss, confirmed by the audiometry, will be sent to the otolaryngologist for standard evaluation and treatment. Hearing screening with the PASS-Pro app was conducted in a standard quiet room at a hospital. The pure tone audiometry was conducted in a soundproof room.

A Study on Prevalence and Determinants of Ototoxicity During Treatment of Childhood Cancer (SOUND): Protocol for a Prospective Study

A Study on Prevalence and Determinants of Ototoxicity During Treatment of Childhood Cancer (SOUND): Protocol for a Prospective Study

Depending on the age of the child, (a combination of) brainstem-evoked response audiometry (BERA), distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA), conditioned play audiometry, and extended high-frequency pure tone audiometry (PTA) will be applied. Anamnestic screening for tinnitus and vertigo will be performed during audiological examinations as a standard procedure for patients 8 years and older and 10 years and older, respectively [24,26,27].

Diagnostic Accuracy of Smartphone-Based Audiometry for Hearing Loss Detection: Meta-analysis

Diagnostic Accuracy of Smartphone-Based Audiometry for Hearing Loss Detection: Meta-analysis

The included studies were selected based on the following criteria: (1) PTA was used as a reference test, (2) audiometry was used on smart devices (ie, PTA and speech recognition audiometry) as an index test, and (3) adequate information was reported on diagnostic accuracy (ie, prevalence, sensitivity, and specificity) to quantify the effect estimates for meta-analysis.

A Smartphone-Based Approach to Screening for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Cross-Sectional Validity Study

A Smartphone-Based Approach to Screening for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Cross-Sectional Validity Study

Currently, pure-tone audiometry remains the gold standard for evaluations of SSNHL since it not only reflects the severity of hearing loss but also provides a baseline hearing status for the assessment of recovery [5,8]. Conventional pure-tone audiometry usually requires a standard soundproof booth and calibrated audiometer, is performed by a qualified audiologist, and takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes per patient to perform.

Screening for Hearing Impairment in Older Adults by Smartphone-Based Audiometry, Self-Perception, HHIE Screening Questionnaire, and Free-Field Voice Test: Comparative Evaluation of the Screening Accuracy With Standard Pure-Tone Audiometry

Screening for Hearing Impairment in Older Adults by Smartphone-Based Audiometry, Self-Perception, HHIE Screening Questionnaire, and Free-Field Voice Test: Comparative Evaluation of the Screening Accuracy With Standard Pure-Tone Audiometry

Free-field voice test, smartphone-based audiometry test, and standard pure-tone audiometry were performed in the same soundproof room with average ambient noise level varying between 38 d BA and 39 d BA-weighted sound pressure level. Informed consent was obtained from each of the patients in this study. All patients completed 5 hearing evaluations, that is, the self-perception test, HHIE-S questionnaire test, free-field voice test, smartphone-based audiometry test, and a standard pure-tone audiometry test.

A Mobile Phone–Based Approach for Hearing Screening of School-Age Children: Cross-Sectional Validation Study

A Mobile Phone–Based Approach for Hearing Screening of School-Age Children: Cross-Sectional Validation Study

Our previous studies have shown that the automated audiometry devices based on personal computers built with the hearing protocol of the HST, which offer a user-friendly interface and measure hearing threshold values, are useful for monitoring progressive hearing changes in school-age children [5,8].

Validated Smartphone-Based Apps for Ear and Hearing Assessments: A Review

Validated Smartphone-Based Apps for Ear and Hearing Assessments: A Review

The main types of apps searched were those that could perform audiometry, tympanometry, OAEs, ABR testing, and otoscopy. These tests were chosen, as they can be used for assessment of ear and hearing function in a range of settings, including screening programs and population-based surveys [12]. A range of search terms were used, including clinically-recognized terms such as audiometry and layman’s terms such as hearing test. Table 1 provides a list of all search terms used.
