Summary

Training in clinical audiometry is both equipment and personnel intensive. Exercises in Audiometry is designed for use by students enrolled in courses in clinical audiometry that require hands-on experience, as well as practicing clinicians performing procedures with which they are unfamiliar. This manual, wire bound to lie flat, consists of 25 exercises each describing a particular procedure ranging from audiometer calibration to a variety of diagnostic tests. The manual is designed to be used with a minimum of supervision, allowing the supervisor or instructor to assign particular exercises which allow the students to proceed at their own pace. In addition to a step-by-step approach, the manual contains learning aids that demonstrate the logic of each procedure.
