Document Summary
Briefly, what is the purpose of a hearing screening? identify those who have hearing loss or are likely to have hearing loss. Do not quantify and describe hearing loss. True or false: newborn hearing screening programs are 100% effective at capturing all types of hearing loss. Environmental noise, time intervals, faking, equipment breakdown. The concept of using a battery of tests during the audiologic evaluation to confirm results is referred to as the cross-check principle. Calibrating equipment regularly gives us valid results. (true or false?) Adult hearing screening programs are abundant in the us (true or false?) Case history can tell us all of the following except:
