In this short course excerpt, you will learn how to efficiently diagnose mild to moderate hearing losses in pediatric cases. The course is presented by Jack Bennett, International Clinical Trainer at…
The idea of a rotational chair was first introduced by Robert Bárány in 1907 and has been used for a variety of different clinical needs since that time. However, newer vestibular tests, such as the…
Picture this – unfortunately – real-life scenario: You’re using carbon paper or pre-printed templates to transfer a hand-written audiogram to paper. You then hand this off to the patient to bring wit…
A complete, diagnostic audiological test battery may include: Audiometry Tympanometry Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) Automated auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing Or any combination of the above…
For many years, we have used the term ‘vestibular function testing’ with the implication that we are testing the entire vestibular system. In fact, most of our tests, such as the caloric test, vHIT…
What is threshold testing? The Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is an evoked potential that originates at the auditory nerve (Cranial Nerve VIII) and the response is picked up by surface electrodes…
Performing visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) with two testers is best practice for this type of test and recommended by the British Society of Audiology. However, there are examples seen in clini…
