The audiologists all kept testing and saying his hearing was OK. I knew something wasn't right because he wasn't responding correctly to really simple words. I finally went to a clinic at the University that specializes in Communicative disorders and the testing there was so much more thorough and we found that he not only had hearing loss from fluid but also high frequency loss that impacts him enough to accomodate for it at school and home. The audiologist at the ENT office is so clueless I just have to laugh. Karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I agree with the others - on your hearing test do NOT guess. I was told by the audiologist who did my CI testing and the surgeon NOT to guess - because that doesn't give them the truth of what you are hearing. It's not cheating to say, I didn't catch that, but I did catch " the girl " . " Don't know what she was doing though! " You are cheating yourself and wasting everyone's time if you guess. I applied for disability and I was sent to an audiologist by the state. I had the test and did what I always did - but I had my CI on. I did " the very best I could " . WRONG - Disability denied because I heard too well (guessed better!) I was tested with and without the CI and with just my hearing aid in the other ear at the time. The only test I did " well " on was with the CI. So without it, I failed. The audiologist sent the state that my hearing was fine. Hello???? Again - do NOT guess!

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Pure Tone Audiogram can show if a patient has different reception left to right ear, unusual pain thresholds, or inability to hearcertain frequencies at normal volumes Has anyone managed to get ASD children to take these tests, who basically do not understand the instructions. Can you just watch if they move or turn on application of noise for example? ANy tricks to make this tests do-able? Was also wondering how useful the tympanogram and otoacoustic tests are, and if they can replace the pure tone audiogram? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
