ABSTRACT:
People usually do not give proper attention to their hearing care. The hearing assessment usually occurs as an effect of a nuisance which motivates the person to search for professional treatment. Based on this, the present research demonstrates a mobile application aimed at assisting otolaryngology, capable of measuring levels of deafness of users through sound tests at different levels of decibels and determining whether the environment in which the user is being is harmful to their hearing. During the research, a solution was developed with the association of mobile and cloud computing technologies on a prototype implementation. Experiments were carried out and they demonstrated the ability to collect data on hearing capability on the following frequencies 65, 100, 500, 1K, 5K, 10K and 14KHz. Experiments on how the tool worked at different times of the day were carried out, with evaluations of the best results for each ear of the user. The feature of the tool to manage hearing was verified, both by the doctor and the user, on the hearing capability. The proposed structure proved to be able to receive optimizations based on Machine Learning for issues relevant to the medical field.
