Vestibular Topics
Balance assessment and rehabilitation is a smaller area of the profession, and many of you told us it was hard to find current evidence-based online courses. Check out these great new additions to our library: Computerized Dynamic Posturography and Update on Vestibular Head Impulse Testing (vHIT). Stay tuned for more courses on important vestibular topics coming throughout the year, focused on the whys and hows for clinical audiologists.
International Speech Test Signal
 |
| Inga Holube |
When digital hearing aids came on the scene, new test signals were developed to accurately test their sophisticated signal processing. But did you know that different manufacturers and different equipment used their own speech-like signals? The ISTS (international speech test signal) was developed to address the need for standardization, and is probably now available in the test equipment you are using. Dr. Inga Holube is our guest author on 20Q with Gus Mueller this month to give you a peek into what all went into the creation of this new signal, along with some of its uses in the clinic.
