User Instructions
This website creates audiograms according to the Swedish standard. You can create you own audiogram, by entering text lines in the text box in the 'Draw Audiogram' page!
Use the following format:
Start each line with a code describing what kind of measurement it is. (AC for Air conduction, BC for Bone conduction, R for Right, L for Left, M for Masked threshold). The following codes are available: ACL, ACR, MACL, MACR, BCL, BCR, MBCL, MBCR
Then specify thresholds, delimited by semicolons (white spaces are ignored). Special codes may be used for 'Not heard' = U, and 'Overheard' = O. The following example sets the unmasked air conduction thresholds for the left ear (skipping 750 Hz, and indicating that 6kHz was not heard, and 8 kHz was overheard (i.e. detected in the wrong ear)). If you copy the line to the textbox and press 'Create Audiogram', you should be able to see the points appear in the audiogram.
ACL 30 ; 35 ; 40 ; ; 45 ; 50 ; 60 ; 80 ; U95 ; O80
Contralateral Masking
Contralateral masking levels used can be specified in parentheses after the threshold value. For example, to indicate that the masking level was raised from 30 to 45 dB at left side masked bone conduction measurement at 1 kHz:
MBCL ;;;;40(30/45);;;;;
Uncomfortable Level Thresholds
Uncomfortable level for pure tones can be set using the codes UCL och UCR.
Weber can be set using the WEBER code, and for each measured frequency any of R (for right), L (for left), C (for centralized), ? (for uncertain) and U or - (for not heard).
Acoustic Reflex Thresholds
Acoustic reflex thresholds can be enterred using the following codes:
- ARCR Contralateral Acoustic Reflex, with stimulus in right ear (and measurement probe in the left ear)
- ARCL Contralateral Acoustic Reflex, with stimulus in left ear (and measurement probe in the right ear)
- ARIR Ipsilateral Acoustic Reflex, with stimulus in right ear (and measurement probe in the right ear)
- ARIL Ipsilateral Acoustic Reflex, with stimulus in left ear (and measurement probe in the left ear)
Other Data
You may also enter other data using the following codes:
- MPB50R for masked PB50 right side, fields separated by semicolons
- MPB50L for masked PB50 left side, fields separated by semicolons
- PB50R for unmasked PB50 right side, fields separated by semicolons
- PB50L for unmasked PB50 left side, fields separated by semicolons
- SRTR for speech reception threshold, right side, fields separated by semicolons
- SRTL for speech reception threshold, left side, fields separated by semicolons
- ULSR for uncomfortable level for speech, right side
- ULSL for uncomfortable level for speech, left side
- NOTE for a comment in the comments box
Patient information
Information about the patient can be added with:
- PATNAME for name
- PATID for social security
- PATPHONE for phone number
- PATADDR for address (lines delimited by \)
Measurement Information
Information about the measurement can be added with:
- ADM for name of the audiologist
- AUD for audiometer
- DATE for date of measurement
Collapsing ear canal
Check the boxes for collapsing ear with:
- RCOLL enter 1 to check the collapsing ear right side box
- LCOLL enter 1 to check the collapsing ear left side box
- COLLNOTE for a comment about collapsing ear canals
Confidence Rating
Check the boxes for rating of confidence with:
- CONFPAT for the patient (1=reliable, 2=somewhat unreliable, 3=not reliable)
- CONFMEAS for the measurement as a whole (1=reliable, 2=somewhat unreliable, 3=not reliable)
Create Audiogram
After you've added or changed any point, select the audiogram langauge (Swedish or English) and press the 'Create Audiogram' button to create your audiogram.
If you only want the actual audiogram section, check the box 'Only diagram'
Your audiogram can be saved to an image file with the 'Download Audiogram' button that appears when an audiogram has been created. You may also save and open your audiogram data for later use with the 'Save' and 'Open' buttons.
For an example audiogram, press the button 'Show example audiogram'!
