A new portable hearing testing device, the OtoID,
was designed to monitor hearing while a Veteran is
undergoing treatment for cancer. Since many Veterans
enter treatment with hearing loss, minimizing
any additional treatment-related hearing loss is very
important. The OtoID device allows a Veteran to test
himself using an automated testing mode or be tested
by an audiologist using a manual testing mode. We
tested 50 subjects in a sound booth and on a hospital
ward for 3 days and found that the OtoID provided
equivalent results regardless of the test environment,
subject age, or hearing ability.
