A great deal of time and effort have been spent in devising methods of storage and retrieval of audiometric data. For on-line storage and retrieval of audiometric data, we developed a new computerized data processing system. This system can record and display the results of five different audiometric tests including pure tone audiometry, Bekesy audiometry, impedance audiometry, speech audiomerty and ERA. Testing equipments for them can be attached directly to the computer. Speech audiometry is keyed in separately. The special merits of this system are as follows;(1) A large number of audiometric data from five kinds of test can be stored in this system.(2) This system has mainly two functions of data retrieval, that are to describe a patient's past data of audiometric tests and to reproduce one pure tone audiogram on several different audiograms.(3) This system can be operated on the basis of on-line real time processing.(4) Feeding audiometric data to the computer and data retrieval can be carried out simultaneously.
