USER INTERFACE AND METHOD TO DISCOVER HEARING SENSITIVITY OF USER ON SMART PHONE

摘要

Employing outputted tones on a client device and/or headset is facilitated to identify hearing sensitivity of a user for both ears at various frequency bands and provide an indication of the users hearing sensitivity as compared to a normal hearing curve of a plurality of users on the same client device and/or headset or differing client devices and/or headsets.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions, comprising:
a tone generation component configured to output a tone, corresponding to a currently selected frequency band, to a currently selected ear at a signal level of a first predetermined value;
a user interface component configured to:
instruct the tone generation component to adjust the signal level of the tone in a first direction at a granularity level until receipt of a first input, wherein the first direction is one of increasing or decreasing, wherein the first input indicates hearing of the tone by the currently selected ear based on the first direction being increasing, or wherein the first input indicates not hearing of the tone by the currently selected ear based on the first direction being decreasing,receive the first input,instruct the tone generation component to adjust the signal level of the tone in a second direction at a finer granularity level than the granularity level in the first direction until receipt of a second input, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction, and wherein the second input indicates hearing of the tone by the currently selected ear based on the second direction being increasing, or wherein the second input indicates not hearing of the tone by the currently selected ear based on the second direction being decreasing,receive the second input, andrepeat, until a predetermined number of changes in direction has occurred, at least one of the instruct the tone generation component to adjust the signal level of the tone in the first direction and receive the first input or the instruct the tone generation component to adjust the signal level of the tone in the second direction and receive the second input, wherein at each change in direction of the predetermined number of changes, the granularity level is made finer than a preceding granularity level associated with an immediately preceding direction by the user interface component; anda sensitivity results component configured to record a current signal level of the tone for the currently selected frequency band and the currently selected ear in a hearing sensitivity testing results record.
