The B $\'{e}$ k $\'{e}$ sy audiometer is used to determine not only hearing threshold but also assumption of recruit phenomenon and cause of disease. However, current B $\'{e}$ k $\'{e}$ sy audiometer takes an operational model, so called face-to-face model, in which model one audiometrist can assess only one subject at a time. As a result, the face-to-face model leads to high audiometrist's labor cost and long waiting time when there exist many subjects. To improve such weakness, this paper extends PC based B $\'{e}$ k $\'{e}$ sy audiometer to support client/server model in which model one audiometrist enables to concurrently access several subjects. As providing capabilities such as real-time transfer of assessment result, video monitoring of subject and video chat, the same effect as face-to-face model but overcomes weakness of face-to-face model.
