Course Description
In this course you learn what an audiogram is, and how it contributes to the diagnosis of hearing loss. You are introduced to terms used to describe hearing loss, like “type “, “configuration”, and “degree.” You will learn how patterns of results shown in an audiogram can help to determine whether a patient has normal hearing, a conductive hearing loss, a sensorineural hearing loss, or a mixed hearing loss. You’ll also begin to recognize the audiogram shapes that are typically found in patients with hearing loss due to excessive noise exposure and some other causes of hearing loss.
