Abstract

Since about twenty years, the otoneurology functional exploration possesses auditory tool to analyze objectively the state of the nervous conduction of additive pathway. In this paper, we present a new classification approach based on the Hidden Markov Models (HMM) which used to design a Computer aided medical diagnostic (CAMD) tool that asserts auditory pathologies based on Brain-stem Evoked Response Auditory based biomedical test, which provides an effective measure of the integrity of the auditory pathway. Case study, experimental results and comparison with a conventional neural networks models have been reported and discussed.
