Dr. Hall is the author of over 125 peer-reviewed journal articles, monographs, or book chapters, as well as seven textbooks including the Handbook of Otoacoustic Emissions, the New Handbook of Auditory Evoked Responses, Audiologists' Desk Reference (Volumes I and II), and the recently published Objective Assessment of Hearing.
$59.00 Add to cartSpeech audiometry is the measurement of how well a person detects, hears, and recognizes speech such as words and sentences. Speech audiometry is important because most patients with hearing loss have difficulty understanding what others are saying. You’ll learn in this course about common speech audiometry tests and how they are administered. You also begin to appreciate why it’s better to present speech materials like words to a patient via a recording on a CD or some other device rather than speaking into a microphone. [more details]
