It is likely that serious hearing loss affect drastically human possibility of repeating the sounds. Remains the question of whether and how the delicate hearing loss affect the person’s ability to repeat sounds. Therefore we try to create the database samples singing, expanded on the tests of hearing for individual sigers, that could be used to further research in this direction. The studies were used two research stations one for the hearing test, and a second used to test the ability of the singer to repeat sound. First station used for hearing tests utilized a standard, certified audiometric cabin with cooperating with her professional audiometer. The second test station was design for record and analyse singers ability to repeat sound. Projected solution, use tools for both generate, playback and recording audio, with used adittional materials to improve the acoustic performance of the tests. This article describes the design of test aparature and presents the conclusions of the preeliminary tests, in particular those related to the second set of equipment.
