聽力損失對個人的生活有著廣泛的危害，其影響不僅僅局限在聽覺層面，還可能影響到心理、社交和生活品質。聽力檢查可以早期發現可能存在的聽力問題，包括聽力損失或其他聽覺障礙。成大醫院聽力室使用紙本記錄方式需要聽力師在紙本與電腦上多次抄寫數據，這不僅花費時間還容易出現錯誤。市面上的聽力軟體不符合聽力師的臨床需求。
我們實作數位化聽力檢查報告系統，目的是幫助聽力師減少檢查、打報告時間，以此減輕聽力師負擔。本系統提供紙本報告所能填寫的內容，讓聽力師填寫聽力檢查報告，並且我們發揮數位化的優勢使用自動化工具減少操作步驟。我們與成大醫院資訊室合作，以符合成大醫院資訊室要求之方法與格式上傳聽力檢查報告讓聽力檢查報告結合於醫院系統中。
我們收集聽力師使用紙本跟數位化聽力檢查報告系統所花費的檢查及撰寫報告時間。收集純音聽力檢查、純音聽力檢查和聽音電阻檢查檢查時間，總共有4位聽力師收集461次檢查數據。比較紙本跟數位化聽力檢查報告系統所花費的檢查及撰寫報告時間，使用數位化聽力檢查報告系統可以減少純音聽力檢查10%及純音聽力檢查和聽音電阻檢查13%的檢查及撰寫報告時間。

Hearing loss can have a broad impact on an individual's life, affecting not just hearing but also psychological well-being, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Early detection of potential hearing problems, including hearing loss or other auditory disorders, is crucial and can be achieved through hearing tests.
Traditionally, audiologists at National Cheng Kung University Hospital (NCKUH) used paper records, requiring audiologists to transcribe data multiple times between paper and computer. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Additionally, existing hearing test software in the market did not meet the specific clinical needs of audiologists.
To address these issues, we developed a digital hearing test report system aimed at reducing the time audiologists spend on testing and report writing, thereby easing their workload. This system replicates the content that can be filled in a paper report, enabling audiologists to complete hearing test reports more efficiently. By leveraging digital advantages and automation tools, we have streamlined operational steps. Our collaboration with the Information Department of NCKUH ensured that the system met the hospital's requirements for method and format, integrating the hearing test reports into the hospital's system.
We collected data on the time spent by audiologists conducting tests and writing reports using both paper and the digital system. Four audiologists collected data from a total of 461 tests, including Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) and Pure Tone Audiometry combined with Impedance Audiometry (PTA+IMP). The comparison showed that using the digital system could reduce the time spent on PTA tests by 10% and PTA+IMP tests by 13%, demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing operational time.
