A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11962348B2) discloses an innovative audiometer system that includes an audiometer device with a digital signal processing (DSP) unit, a baseband processing unit, and a light-based transceiver. The system also features a transducer with a light-based transceiver, a baseband processing unit, a processor unit, and an audio speaker. The audiometer system is designed to generate stimulus signals, convert them into data packets, and transmit them to the transducer, which then processes the data packets to generate a patient stimulus signal. Additionally, the transducer can receive patient inputs, generate response signals, and convert them into data packets for further processing, enhancing the overall functionality of the system.

Moreover, the audiometer system can incorporate multiple transducers, each equipped with its own set of components, including light-based transceivers, baseband processing units, processor units, and audio speakers. This configuration allows for the simultaneous generation of sound stimuli for both ears of a patient, enhancing the testing capabilities of the system. Furthermore, the system can generate masking signals, convert them into data packets, and interleaved them with stimulus data packets to create a time division multiplexed (TDM) data stream. This TDM data stream can then be processed by the transducers to generate masking sounds in conjunction with the patient stimulus signals, providing a comprehensive testing environment for audiometric evaluations. Overall, the patented audiometer system offers a sophisticated and versatile solution for conducting auditory assessments with enhanced efficiency and accuracy.
