Pure audiogram is the fundamental hearing test to evaluate and manage the patient with hearing loss problem. The test measures the hearing threshod and use the results to calculate and compare to the normal range of hearing. Then classifies the degree of hearing loss. The process is a hard work because it uses many numbers and calculations. The author using database management program Visual Foxpro, developed a computer program to record, calculate, interpret and analyze the data of pure tone audiogram of Otolaryngology Department, Nakhonpathom hospital in October 2007. The 125 audiograms were tested, recorded, calculated, interpreted and analyzed. We performed testing 38 male (30%) and 87 female. The youngest was 5 years old. The oldest was 96 years old. The average age is 43 years. Mostly was in working age (18-60), 88 tests (70.4%). The results were : bilateral normal 29 tests (23.20%), bilateral abnormal 71 tests (56.80%) unilateral abnormal right ear 9 tests (7.20%), unilateral abnormal left ear 16 tests (12.80%). Most abnormal hearing was level 1 hearing loss and mostly occurred in working-age patients. The c0mputer·aid·audiogram is useful for audiogram analysis. It is a pioneer project so it is needed to be developed further more to develop hearing health care of the community.
