About this title

Synopsis

Book by Arlinger, Stig

From the Back Cover

This book has been producted by a Swedish working group of ten people with solid professional experience as audiology assistants, technicians and physicians. The task set by the working group to provide details practical descriptions of how to perform all kinds of hearing tests, so as to inform the training and practice of those using audiometry in their work. The text was discussed, redrafted and sent out to audiological clinics, hearing centres and other relevant institutes. Where possible, the comments and recommendations received were incorporated in the final manuscript. This English version of the Swedish text follows the original in all essential aspects, but has been adjusted to avoid specific national conditions.

The book leads the reader from the general prerequisites for audiometry through particular tests, grouped together under a type: psychoacoustic and electro-physiological tests, audiometry with children and impedance audiometry: to explanations of the audiograms, symbols, terms and abbreviations used. The description of each test includes its purpose, the patients for whom it is applicable, the step-by-step procedure, specifications of the equipment and test environment, recording of results and comments and references for additional information.
