Chapter 10: Audiologic Rehabilitation for Adults and Elderly Adults: Assessment and Management
Activities
Hearing
Loss Profile – This activity allows the learner to input a hearing
loss and see what type of communication difficulties that type of hearing
loss would exhibit.
Hearing Loss Classification – To help understand
the process of categorizing hearing loss in terms of type, degree, and configuration,
this activity provides the learner with sample audiograms and asks you to
categorize the loss in all three ways. The activity also helps the learner
check the agreement between SRT and PTA (+ or - 5 or less= Excellent; +
or - 6 to 10= Good, + or - 11 or more = Poor). Finally, students can decide
if word recognition scores are appropriate as related to the bone conduction
results on the audiogram.
More Hearing Loss Classification - This activity is similar to the one above but in a different form. You will need to make sure you have the FLASH plugin for your browser (you probably already have it installed. If you need the plugin, click HERE).
