Our clinic hearing assessment protocol follows guidelines pertaining to the audiologic management of adult hearing impairment created by American Academy of Audiology (AAA). These include comprehensive case history, otoscopic inspection and cerumen management, measuring MCLs and LDLs, performing pure tone, speech, and immittance audiometry, counseling results to patient and their family members, determining need for physician referral, recommending appropriate treatment as well as assessing hearing aid candidacy . Our hearing aid evaluation and dispensing protocols include assessing patient communication needs, motivation and expectation through different questionnaires (e.g., COSI), conducting speech-in-noise testing (Quick-SIN), using probe microphone measures to verify a prescriptive fitting target, and conducting aided sound field testing.
The extern student also has the opportunity to gain additional experience with pediatric diagnostic evaluation and educational audiology as we are contracted with two public schools in the community.
