Abstract
There is provided an apparatus for hearing measurement based on a cochlear model comprising: a processor; and a memory connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores program instructions executable by the processor to output an interface in which n buttons corresponding to n frequency bands into which an audible frequency band is divided at 1/k octave resolution are arranged in a cochlear model, output acoustic signals corresponding to a predetermined hearing threshold in each of the n frequency bands, receive a user's input for whether each of the n frequency bands is inaudible at the predetermined hearing threshold, and output acoustic stimulation signals corresponding to the inaudible frequency band input by the user in predetermined sizes.
