Beyond the Audiogram: Understanding the Role of Cognitive Screening, Speech in Noise (and more) in Amplification
Course: #38341Level: Advanced 1 Hour 182 Reviews
Most “hearing tests” do not include listening and communication assessments, nor do they include speech in noise tests (SIN) despite decades-old Best Practice statements from AAA and ASHA and more recently IHS. In this course, we will discuss the benefits and rationale and value of complete audiometric assessments and adherence to “diagnosis first, treatment second.”
