“…Tones were presented starting at 25 dB at the frequencies of 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. Thresholds were determined using the modified Hughson-Westlake Method (Svensson, Kvaløy, & Berg, 2015). In this method, stimuli are presented in increasing order by fixed steps of 5 dB until there is a response.…”

Hearing loss affects one in five people worldwide and is estimated to affect one in four by 2050. Treatment relies on accurate diagnosis of hearing loss, but this first step is out of reach for more than 80% of those affected. Increasingly automated digital approaches are being developed for self-administered hearing assessment without professionals’ direct involvement. This scoping review provides an overview of automated approaches, based on 56 reports from 2012 until June 2021, adding to the 29 published prior to 2012. Twenty-seven automated approaches were identified. An increasing number of approaches report similar accuracy as manual hearing assessments. Machine learning approaches are more efficient and personal digital devices make assessments more affordable and accessible. Validity can be enhanced by quality surveillance including noise monitoring and detecting inconclusive results. Employed within identified limitations, automated hearing assessments can support task-shifting, self-care, and clinical care pathways.

Precise and timely evaluation of an individual’s hearing loss plays an important role in determining appropriate treatment strategies, including medication and aural rehabilitation. However, currently available hearing assessment systems do not satisfy the need for an objective assessment tool with a simple and non-invasive procedure. In this paper, we propose a new method for pure-tone audiometry, which may potentially be used to assess an individual’s hearing ability objectively and quantitatively, without need for the user’s active response. The proposed method is based on the auditory oculogyric reflex, where the eyes involuntary rotate towards the source of a sound, in response to spatially moving pure-tone audio stimuli modulated at specific frequencies and intensities. We quantitatively analyzed horizontal electrooculograms (EOG) recorded with a pair of electrodes under two conditions—when pure-tone stimuli were (1) “inaudible” or (2) “audible” to a participant. Preliminary experimental results showed significantly increased EOG amplitude in the audible condition compared to the inaudible condition for all ten healthy participants. This demonstrates potential use of the proposed method as a new non-invasive hearing assessment tool.
