title: A micro-computer based trainer for pure-tone audiometry.
abstract: A micro-computer based system to simulate patient performance on pure-tone audiometry has been developed, which in conjunction with a dummy audiometer allows easy development of a student training facility. The system can be easily configured to realistically and comprehensively represent a wide range of hearing losses. Students can then acquire the necessary technical skills to produce accurate pure-tone threshold determinations free from the restraints of a clinical setting.
