|
Term
| What are 3 subjective measures? Meaning based on the patient and their response. |
|
Definition
○ Puretone audiometry
○ Speech audiometry
○ Speech in noise |
|
|
Term
| Three objective measures? Can't fake these tests. |
|
Definition
○ Immittance measure (tympanometry and
acoustic reflex thresholds)
○ Otoacoustic emissions
○ Electrophysiologic measures (ex: auditory
brainstem response test) |
|
|
Term
| Do you want to do objective or subjective tests first? |
|
Definition
Objective-Gives clinician an idea of what to expect before
using subjective measures. May not be necessary to use objective tests if everything aligns; Less expensive |
