Abstract: The amount of data produced in the process of recording even
short hearing samples by means of a monitor (1) may be
considerably reduced by effecting a normalization to a range
of values D and a subsequent nonlinear mapping to a second,
preferably smaller range of values W. The result may be
stored in an electronic memory. Further preferred measures
are the spitting of the hearing samples into e.g. 6 signals
each of which contains a respective frequency band of the
original signal, and the conversion of the original
amplitude values into energy variation values with
simultaneous low pass filtering. Preferably, all cited
processing steps are performed by a signal processor (9). A
continuous recording time of up to 14 days by a monitor in
the form of a wristwatch can thus be attained with state-of-the-art
technology.
