• understand procedures in audiolog
describe, in general, methods of assessment in audiology i.e.,

tympanometry visual reinforcement audiometry conditioned play audiometry speech audiometry auditory evoked response
explain the principle of amplification that involves prescription of ,
– hearing aids
– cochlear implant
– assistive listening devices

Behavioral Observation Audiometry (BOA)/
Distraction Test (DT)
developmentally appropriate behavioral procedures to obtain frequency-specific & earspecific information regarding auditory status
– Behavioral Observation Audiometry (BOA)
• < 6 months old
– Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA)
• > 6 months old with good head & neck control
– Play Audiometry
• 2 years old or more
Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA)
Play Audiometry
• ..\..\..\Teaching Materials\Pediatric audiology Diagnosis, technology, & management\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_0.IFO
Other tests
• developmentally appropriate behavioral procedures to obtain speech detection/awareness/reception thresholds with appropriate masking
• word recognition measures with appropriate masking • auditory evoked potentials
Interpretation of the assessment may indicate one or more of the following:
• hearing within normal limits (WNL)
• identification & quantification of hearing loss • hearing loss identified but further testing required • speech-language screening
• patient could not be tested (CNT) using
procedures
