Training in clinical audiometry is both equipment and personnel intensive. Exercises in Audiometry is designed for use by students enrolled in courses in clinical audiometry that require hands-on experience, as well as practicing clinicians performing procedures with which they are unfamiliar. This manual, wire bound to lie flat, consists of 25 exercises each describing a particular procedure ranging from audiometer calibration to a variety of diagnostic tests. The manual is designed to be used with a minimum of supervision, allowing the supervisor or instructor to assign particular exercises which allow the students to proceed at their own pace. In addition to a step-by-step approach, the manual contains learning aids that demonstrate the logic of each procedure.

• Contains 25 exercises, each of which guides the student/clinician through active performance of audiometric procedures.

• All exercises have been thoroughly developed through years of class testing.

• Spiral bound to lay flat in class, laboratory, or clinical settings.

• Contains preparation checklists and identification of equipment.
