摘要： The present invention is a system for and method of adjusting hearing aids (130) by discrete frequency ranges (FIG. 3a); continual tuning and reprogramming of the hearing aid is accomplished in real time via iterations between a patient (with hearing aid in ear, 120) and an audiologist (131). A test tone or other sound is played and the patient gives feedback on the test tone's suitability (such as loudness). The hearing aid (130) is further tuned and reprogrammed accordingly as the sound is replayed and the patient (120) gives additional feedback. These steps continue until the patient (120) considers the hearing optimized, compensating for both the patient's hearing loss and individual preferences in the discrete frequency ranges. The following are twelve commonly tested frequency ranges: 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 750 Hz, 1000 Hz, 1500 Hz, 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 5000 Hz, 6000 Hz, 8000 Hz, and 10,000 Hz.
摘要翻译：本发明是一种通过离散频率范围调整助听器（130）的系统和方法（图3）。助听器的持续调谐和重新编程通过患者（使用耳朵助听器，120）和听力学家（131）之间的迭代实时完成。播放测试音或其他声音，患者对测试音的适应性（如响度）给出反馈。当声音被重放时，助听器（130）被进一步调谐和重新编程，并且患者（120）给出额外的反馈。这些步骤继续进行，直到患者（120）认为听力被优化，补偿了患者的听力损失和离散频率范围内的个人偏好。以下是十二个通常测试的频率范围：125 Hz，250 Hz，750 Hz，1000 Hz，1500 Hz，2000 Hz，3000 Hz，4000 Hz，5000 Hz，6000 Hz，8000 Hz和10,000 Hz。

摘要： The present invention is an apparatus for and method of remotely, automatically, and routinely conducting diagnostic testing on a programmable hearing aid to ensure that it is functioning as intended when optimized for an individual's needs and preferences. Because hearing aids deteriorate with time and buildup of earwax, individuals can be uncertain whether their hearing is worsening or the hearing aid is malfunctioning. The net effect is diminished hearing aid performance—and thus diminished quality of life. The present invention tests the hearing aid for proper function as frequently as daily.
摘要翻译：本发明是一种用于远程，自动和常规地对可编程助听器进行诊断测试的装置和方法，以确保当根据个人的需要和偏好进行优化时，其按预期运行。因为助听器随着时间的推移和耳垢的积累而恶化，所以个人可能不确定听力是否恶化或助听器是否发生故障。助听器效能的净效应减弱，从而降低了生活质量。本发明每天频繁地测试助听器的正常功能。

摘要： A searchable database contains rehabilitation plans for individuals having the same medical condition. The rehabilitation plans are indexed by scores corresponding to physical dimensions and personal environment dimensions characteristics of the respective individuals having the same medical condition and also by scores representative of actual success results associated with prescribing the respective rehabilitation plans. The database can be queried to identify rehabilitation plans for a dimension whose assessment information matches individual assessment information for the same dimension of an individual requiring rehabilitation for the same medical condition. In addition, the actual success scores can be used to identify rehabilitation plans in the database likely to be successful when prescribed to an individual. The individual assessment information and the identified rehabilitation plan prescribed to the individual, and also feedback obtained from the individual to which an identified plan is prescribed and also success results for the prescribed plan, can be used to update the database.
