Download or read book Stopping Rules for Audiological Ascending Test Procedures written by Lynne Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study used Monte Carlo simulations to examine the efficiency of various stopping rules for audiological threshold test procedures. It was found that thresholds were located at higher percents correct for steeper psychometric functions. Stopping rules requiring two responses at one level were faster than those requiring three responses with only a small decrease in consistency. Among stopping rules using the same number of responses for criterion, differences were seen primarily in efficiency at shallow slopes, particularly for procedures using a three response rather than a two-response criterion. The most efficient rule uses the first N responses at a level, with no requirement about whether the responses were present on half or a majority of the ascens, no consideration of the total number of asents, and no update rule. Audiological procedures using a two-response criterion are preferable to those using three-response criterion. While the reliability of these procedures is probably adequate for clinical estimates of threshold, it is inadequate for sonar laboratory research unless modifications can improve the reliability.

Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.

Book excerpt: The Hearing Aid Dispensing Training Manual, Second Edition remains a vital resource for individuals studying for their state practical licensing examination in hearing aid dispensing. The manual focuses on competency for the practical sections of the examination, preparing individuals for the exam, but also for day-to-day operations in the professional environment. Separated into four modules, the book covers the main competencies of most state practical examinations: audiometric assessment, ear impressions, hearing instrument fitting, and hearing instrument care and follow-up. The competency modules are divided into chapters related to the concept of the module. Each chapter begins with objectives and terms with definitions to help orient the reader to the topic. Each module concludes with a "Putting It All Together" section, tying together the concepts of the module with practical activities and allowing the individual to perform the competency as they would for the licensing examination. The section is followed by module quiz questions that allow the reader to increase comprehension and test their knowledge.
