Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electro-acoustics and medical instruments, in particular to a device of a spatial auditory clinical audiometry system. The audiometric system and the audiometric device are suitable for small-scale acoustic space used clinically in hospitals, and can support behavioral tests of auditory localization in space directions and distances under various conditions.
Background
Audiometry is an examination in which the state of auditory function is known and auditory diseases are diagnosed by observing the response of a subject to sound stimuli. The purpose of a hearing test is to determine the presence or absence of hearing impairment, the degree of hearing loss, and the nature and location of the hearing loss. The purpose of sound source localization examination is primarily to detect the angular perception of the sound source location by the subject. The method can be used for the research of the sound source positioning capability of people with different ages or different hearing losses and the research of the rehabilitation effect after the hearing aids, artificial cochlea and other hearing auxiliary equipment are used.
In the existing sound source localization technology, audiometric systems have been developed to be mature. Since hospitals are usually faced with the reality problem of tense land, small room audiometry is often used, and a listening room is often required to meet various requirements at the same time, including pure tone audiometry, acoustic immittance test, auditory evoked potential test, and the like, in addition to sound source localization examination. Therefore, the method has practical significance for reducing the occupied space of the sound source positioning test system and is very important for improving the resource utilization rate of hospitals.
According to the distance between the sound source and the sound receiving point, the sound field model can be divided into two types: a near-field model and a far-field model. When the distance from the sound source to the center of the head is more than 1.0m, the distance is called a far field; and distances less than 1.0m are called near fields. In the existing invention, for a small listening room, the sound source localization test usually adopts a near-field test method, i.e. the distance from the sound source to the head center is less than 1.0m, and the method is used for adapting to the situation of insufficient space. But is not negligible for the far field, except for the localization capability test for the near field. In order to fully analyze the spatial localization capability of the far field and the near field, some improvements to the sound source localization test system of the small room are necessary.
In addition, if the subject is able to see the speaker position, the test results are indicative of the speaker position that is believed to be sounding, rather than directly indicative of the perceived sound position, which is very error for the spatial localization test. In the prior art, aiming at the influence of vision, a method of performing an experiment in a dark environment or reducing errors caused by vision loss by a mode that a subject wears an eye mask is generally adopted. The fact proves that the hearing-impaired patient has extremely strong dependence on eyesight, and often feels panic under the condition of visual loss, so that the sound source positioning is influenced.

In the test process, two experimenters are arranged, and the experimenters are located in front of an operation table to control the feed of signals at a computer terminal; and (4) feeding back by two experimenters according to the testees, and recording data.
According to the arrangement, the test flow of the space positioning capability of the horizontal plane with the azimuth angle of 0-360 degrees (the direction right in front of the subject is defined as 0 degree of the azimuth angle, and the azimuth angle is increased along the clockwise direction) is as follows:
firstly, connecting hardware, debugging a multi-loudspeaker playback system, and calibrating the sound pressure level at a listening point to enable the sound pressure level at the center of a head to be 70 dB; a shading cloth curtain is used for completely shading the sound source, so that the blind listening effect is realized;
the positions of the seat and the testee are adjusted individually according to the testee, including the height of the seat, the size of the head hoop and the head orientation of the testee, so that the ear canal mouth of the testee is flush with the plane of the loudspeaker and faces to the center of the semicircular ring, and thus, the positions of the ears and the loudspeakers are on the same horizontal plane; in the test process, the position of the subject on the self-made seat is fixed, and the azimuth angle is changed only through the rotation of the digital rotary table;
when the testee is sufficiently prepared, the experimenter sequentially plays a test signal once through thirteen loudspeakers on the annular loudspeaker tray, the testee feeds back, and prompts the actual azimuth information, so as to carry out the sound source positioning training of the front half plane of the testee before testing; the chair is rotated by 180 degrees through the digital rotary table, so that the testee faces the center of the semicircular ring, and the test and the prompt are carried out in the same step, and the sound source positioning training of the rear half plane is carried out. Preparing for formal experiments through training of front and back half plane sound source positioning of a subject;
a first experimenter uses a computer in front of an operation table to control a loudspeaker to randomly play a test signal sequence which is set in advance; after the test signal is heard by the test subject, the sound source position is indicated, and the experimenter reads the angle indicated by the test subject through the angle mark on the ground and records the angle in the data recording table. And sequentially testing the sound source positioning capability of the front half plane and the rear half plane, namely the test process comprises two groups, namely, a test subject faces towards the center of the semicircular ring and rotates 180 degrees and then faces towards the center of the semicircular ring. The test procedure for each group played a total of 13 x 5 to 65 groups of test signals, i.e., thirteen azimuths, which were repeated five times for each azimuth.

After the experiment is finished, the seat rotary table can be pushed to the inner side of the room, and the limited listening room space is not occupied as far as possible.
The second embodiment of the invention can be used for spatial auditory distance positioning audiometry. The audiometric system provided by the above may implement the audiometric method described in the second embodiment, that is, the audiometric method provided by the second embodiment is suitable for the audiometric system provided by the first embodiment. Specifically, the second embodiment is based on the audiometric system described in the first embodiment, and the audiometric method includes:
the audiometric system adopts the arrangement of one loudspeaker, namely only the loudspeaker positioned at the right center of the semicircular annular loudspeaker tray. In the test, the loudspeaker is kept still on the semi-circular loudspeaker tray, and the distance and the azimuth angle in the sound source positioning test are respectively controlled only by the movement of the seat along the track fixed on the ground and the rotation of the numerical control rotary table. The distance represents the distance of the speaker to the center position of the subject's head. In the test, the test distances include 20cm, 30cm, 50cm, 70cm, 100cm and 120cm, and the test azimuth angles include 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees and 180 degrees.
Specifically, the track fixed on the ground in the ground track in the seat module is provided with scales for marking the position and the moving distance of the seat. In the embodiment, the spatial auditory localization capability of a test subject on sound sources at different distances is tested by moving the homemade seat on a ground track; the self-made seat is controlled to rotate through the numerical control rotary table, the distance positioning capability on different azimuth angles on the horizontal plane is tested, for example, the initial position is that a subject faces to the center of a semicircle, after the seat rotates 15 degrees clockwise (depression angle), the corresponding azimuth angle of the position of the loudspeaker is-15 degrees, namely the direction right ahead of the subject is defined as zero degree of the azimuth angle, and the azimuth angles increase in sequence along the clockwise direction.
According to the audiometric method, the test can be carried out in two groups, namely a loudness equalization group and a no loudness equalization group. The loudness equalization group is used for carrying out certain processing on test signals at different distances, namely, the measured sound pressure level at the center position of the head of the sound played by the audiometric signal at each distance from the loudspeaker is 70dB through equalization; the loudness-free equalization group means that the test signals at different distances are not processed additionally, that is, all the test signals are consistent in strength.
Hardware is first connected and the multi-speaker playback system is debugged. Specifically, when the playback system works, the sound pressure level at the center of the head is measured, the signal intensity at each distance of the loudness equalization group is debugged, and the sound pressure levels at the center of the head at each distance are ensured to be consistent, namely 70 dB; and for the loudness-free equalization group, the strength of the test signal is debugged, so that the loudspeaker plays the signal, and when the seat is positioned at the center of the semicircle, the sound pressure level at the center of the head is 70 dB. The blind listening effect is realized by completely shielding the sound source by the curtain cloth;
the positions of the seat and the testee are adjusted individually according to the testee, including the height of the seat, the size of the head hoop and the head orientation of the testee, so that the ear canal mouth of the testee is flush with the plane of the loudspeaker and faces to the center of the semicircular ring, and thus, the positions of the ears and the loudspeakers are on the same horizontal plane;
the test signal selects white noise of 70 dB. When the testee is sufficiently prepared, playing test signals under different azimuth angles and different distances, feeding back by the testee, and prompting actual azimuth information, so as to train the testee before testing and prepare formal experiments;
controlling the numerical control turntable to rotate by a certain angle aiming at a certain azimuth angle, so that the loudspeaker is positioned at the audiometric azimuth angle; after the test signal is played, the subject feeds back the sensing distance, and the experimenter records the data. Then the chair is slid, the distance between the loudspeaker and the subject is changed, the azimuth angle is kept unchanged, the signal is played again, the subject feeds back, and the experimenter records the data. Each distance test at each azimuth was repeated five times and was accomplished by movement of the seat along the slide rails. And rotating the seat until all the signals under the azimuth angle are tested, changing the azimuth angle, and repeating the experimental step of the previous azimuth angle. The audiometric groups include a distance equalization group and a non-distance equalization group, i.e., an experimental group subjected to loudness equalization at different distances and an experimental group not subjected to loudness equalization at different distances. Each experimental group can be tested by the above procedure.
Similarly, the orientation discrimination capability at the rear part or the positioning capability in other angle intervals can be tested through the rotation of the seat; by adjusting the loudspeaker interval, test results with different resolutions can be obtained. According to the design scheme and the device for the spatial auditory clinical audiometry system, the comprehensive spatial positioning capability test can be met in a small space, and the spatial auditory clinical audiometry system is high in coordinate precision and flexible in application.
The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications which do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be construed as equivalents thereof, and all such changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention.
