Abstract
Hearing loss is an inevitable problem for hu-mans. It gradually deteriorates with age. Excessive expo-sure to noise can cause further deterioration. Because hearing cannot be recovered once damaged, it is important to prevent and slow down the hearing loss. This requires a timely understanding of hearing loss and relevant protec-tive measures. This research proposes a sub-band method that can High-Speed measure hearing damage by itself. This method can be extended to the home without going to the hospital. In this method, by listening to 9 pure tones in sequence, you can detect your hearing impairment at high speed. The frequency gain compensation method is used to define each frequency band`s reference critical value, and the cross-band test is used to determine the hearing loss part. The results showed that 1 out of 12 subjects was de-termined to be suspected of partial hearing loss. It has been confirmed that this experimental method can be judged within 30 seconds with a smartphone, compared to the detection method in the hospital. The detection speed has been greatly improved. It allows more people to learn about their hearing health easily.
