Textbook of Audiology and Clinical Practicum

Description

An audiologist is a health-care practitioner who specialises in recognising, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring problems of the ear's auditory and vestibular systems. Audiologists are professionals who are trained to diagnose, manage, and/or treat hearing, tinnitus, and balance issues. They distribute, manage, and rehabilitate hearing aids, as well as test and map cochlear implant candidacy. They guide families through a new diagnosis of baby hearing loss and assist in the teaching of coping and compensatory skills to late-deafened adults. Digit span and digit sequencing activities were used to measure auditory working memory. Auditory digit span tasks comprised ascending and descending digit tests, while auditory digit sequencing tasks included ascending and descending digit tests. The "Auditory cognitive training module" was used to conduct these exams. Hearing loss is one of the physical handicaps that some people suffer from. It has a negative impact on the learning performance of disabled children since it reduces their understanding of their surroundings and the entire world. It leads to verbal inefficiency and a decrease in communication capacity. This book focuses on the fundamentals of hearing, including terminology, ear structure, and techniques of auditory rehabilitation. It may assist instructors and parents of disabled children in understanding the fundamental ideas of the impairment.
