Briefly explain two ways audiologists differ from otolaryngologists in their training and scope of practice.

The human hearing range for young adults is approximately

Which U.S. professional organization represents audiologists broadly?

Corporate audiologists typically:

The final year of AuD training typically involves:

An educational audiologist’s role primarily involves:

After reading the below case study answer the four questions posted below. Each question is worth 2.5 points. Maria is a 10-year-old student who has experienced frequent otitis media (middle ear infections) since early childhood. Her parents report that she often asks for repetition at home and prefers higher television volume than the rest of the family. Teachers have noticed that she struggles to keep up during group discussions, especially in noisy environments such as the cafeteria or classroom with background chatter. An audiological evaluation was conducted: Pure-tone testing shows reduced hearing sensitivity in both ears for air conduction. Bone conduction thresholds are normal, indicating that the cochlea and auditory nerve are functioning properly. Tympanometry revealed negative middle ear pressure consistent with eustachian tube dysfunction. Maria’s hearing difficulties have begun to affect her academic performance and her confidence in participating in class discussions.  Based on the audiogram findings, what type of hearing loss does Maria most likely have? Explain your reasoning. How might Maria’s hearing difficulties impact her educational performance and social interactions with peers? What are some possible long-term effects of untreated recurrent otitis media on speech and language development? Which other professionals (besides the audiologist) might be involved in Maria’s care, and what would their roles be?  

A conductive hearing loss results from disorders in the:

Unilateral hearing loss refers to:

Class G airspace is that airspace where
