This pilot observation intends to stress on web-based hearing assessment (WBHA) as somewhat parallel to clinical pure tone audiometry. While WBHA was comparable with PTA in context of severity of deafness particularly in symmetrical hearing loss, it was inconclusive for a gross asymmetry despite multiple trials. With increasing COVID transmission, more need for social distancing and lack of audiologists in developing countries, the self-participation by patients in WBHA model will prove to be a very safe model of deafness-screening.
这项初步观察旨在强调基于网络的听力评估（WBHA）在某种程度上与临床纯音听力测定法相当。虽然在耳聋严重程度方面，尤其是在对称性听力损失中，WBHA与纯音听力测定法（PTA）相当，但尽管进行了多次试验，对于严重不对称情况仍无定论。随着新冠病毒传播的增加、对社交距离的更多需求以及发展中国家听力学家的短缺，患者在WBHA模式中的自我参与将被证明是一种非常安全的耳聋筛查模式。
