In adults and older children, traditional speech testing is used as a method of establishing whether the patient's hearing device(s) are working as desired. In much younger children, this isn't yet p…
This video demonstrates how to create customised visual reinforcers for visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) testing, which can be used to tailor the VRA session to the preferences of the individual…
What is the caloric test? The caloric test is a test of the lateral semicircular canals which identifies the degree to which the vestibular system is responsive and determines how symmetric the respo…
