Conventionally, in order to test hearing ability or be diagnosed, it is necessary for a patient to visit a hospital, i.e., otorhinolaryngology section.
The present invention provides the program which enables the patient to receive the diagnosis without seeing a doctor, by ARS (automatic voice response system) that is run by a computer through a conventional telephone line.
In the present invention, if the patient calls, the ARS lets the patient hear audible frequency and sound volume, which are reference to the hearing ability every step according to the sequential information of the program. Then, the patient pushes the telephone button and informs the program of his hearing ability range. Based on the input range of the phone button, the program will notify the patient of his hearing ability through the voice message and, furthermore, explain the measures necessary for the hearing ability of the patient. According to the present invention, it is possible that the patient can receive the diagnosis easily.
