Sažetak
Healthy hearing is very important in various professions, such as pilots, drivers, musicians, emergency services, etc. Sometimes it is difficult to regularly monitor hearing health with audiological examinations due to time or financial limitations. The same is true for psychoacoustic tests where it is important to receive information about the hearing health of the subjects. The importance of adapting sound reproduction systems to the individual hearing sensitivity is recognized by many smartphone manufacturers which offer testing of the user’s hearing and adapting the sound reproduction using headphones to individual hearing. For the above reasons, an online hearing test application for pure tone audiometry was designed with the main goal to be accessible by any user with quality headphones in a quiet place, not just from a dedicated laboratory. The need for headphone calibration and equalization is further discussed. For precise results, the system requires calibration of subject headphones, but it is important to notice that the presented system and similar other audiometry applications can be used for early detection of hearing impairment if hearing is monitored at certain intervals, even if used in non-clinical surrounding and without a full calibration.
