Abstract
Objective: To compare the accuracy of eaudiologica.pl android hearing application with
pure tone audiometry in terms of hearing
assessment of normal hearing group.
Methodology: This observational trial was
conducted at Department of ENT, Combined
Military Hospital, Kharian, over six months from
January 1, to June 30, 2018. One hundred patients
18-65 year of age and of either gender with normal
hearing and no ear pathology were enrolled for this
study. Air conduction hearing thresholds of both
ears at frequencies 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz,
2000Hz, 4000Hz, and 8000Hz were measured
with "cello audiometer by Inventis®" and android
hearing application "e-audiologica.pl" in all
patients.
Conclusion: e-audiologica.pl android hearing
application is an excellent tool for screening of
hearing loss in areas where there is lack of
standard equipment and trained staff. However, it
cannot be used as a diagnostic tool. (Rawal Med J
202;45:673-676).
Results: There were 84(84%) males and 16(16
%) females among a total of 100 patients. 18 year
to 65 year was age range having mean age of
30.5± 9.1 year. At frequencies 250Hz, 500Hz,
1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, e-audiologica.pl
android application gave higher readings as
compared to audiometry while at 8000 Hz it gave
low readings
