It is difficult to get excited about workbooks and textbooks, especially in the field of audiology. Sharon Hepfner has provided a workbook full of real audiograms done on real people that maybe we should call "Reality Learning." Students of medicine and audiology, as well as those early in their careers, will gain a tremendous understanding by going through this workbook. I suggest you read through each section before completing the Evaluations. The book is divided into 6 sections (SNHL, CHL, Mixed, Normal, Nonorganic, and Practice Audiograms) and begins with an overview of testing instructions for various testing procedures as well as patient conditions and circumstances that require test modification. This workbook is worth its weight in gold.
The audio book is a good reference guide from the hearing test results obtained from audiologist who have difficulty in their interpretations,since they do not have access to the clinical history of patients. Some of the cases in the book are seldom seen in my clinical practice. The actual results in the book--- more or less comparable to the actual test results we obtain in the clinic.Handy reference book for residents and audiologist.
The copy I received misspelled the word audiogram on the cover as "Audiogramm" (see picture).Additionally, there are some problems with organization. The book would be more helpful if tympanometry, AR and speech scores were left blank on the worksheet side so they can be filled in and worked through. Additionally, ABR tracings would be helpful. The "interpretation" section is often a copy of the information provided in the case history and seems redundant.
Great workbook for practicing interpreting and writing a report for audiologists and a reference for hearing aid dispensers.
I purchased this book to help students I work with have an opportunity to analyze audiograms and make recommendations, but the workbook has been very disappointing. First of all some of the audiogram graphs are so skewed from the dB values that you can't make a determination of threshold level. The masking levels are all over the board, so there is no consistent method that was used. Most examples would result in overmasking. I am now using the book as a way for my students to find the "errors" and make corrections on what they would do when testing.
