(San Diego, CA – October, 30 2013) – The comprehensive, easy-to-use Hearing Aid Dispensing Training Manual is designed for individuals pursuing a career in hearing health care and is a useful study resource for the state practical licensing examination. With a focus on areas of competency for the practical sections of the examination, the manual not only prepares individuals for the exam, but also for day-to-day operations in the professional environment.
The training manual covers the four main competencies of most state practical examinations: audiometric testing, impression taking, hearing aid fitting, and hearing aid troubleshooting. The competency modules are divided into chapters related to the concept of the module. Objectives and vocabulary open the chapter to help guide the reader, and a “Putting It All Together” section at the end of the chapter ties together the concepts of the module with practical activities—allowing the individual to perform the competency as they would for their state licensing examination.
