• Aim– Report on validation and verification of OtoID

portable audiometer that allows hearing testing on hospital treatment unit and automated patient self-testing.

• Relevance– Portability of equipment is increasingly important

component in practice of audiology.



Method• 40 subjects: – Young and old.– With and without hearing impairment.

• Conditions:– Manual hearing test by audiologist vs self-test with

automated testing.– Sound booth vs hospital treatment unit.

• Data analyzed for:– Testing bias, repeatability, and American Speech-

Language-Hearing Association-significant ototoxicity false-positive rate.



Results

• OtoID automated and manual testing modes provided equivalent and repeatable results in subjects who varied in age and hearing status when tested in both locations.

• Further, there was little potential for false positive (for ototoxicity) findings.



Conclusion

• OtoID device will:– Enable widespread ototoxicity monitoring,– Allow clinicians to minimize or prevent progression

of hearing loss.
