I CLINICIAN' S RESPONSIBILITIES 1. It is imperative that you practice and become familiar with the techniques and procedures that you will be performing during the audiological evaluations. Practice time is available for approximately two weeks prior to the first scheduled evaluation. 2. Please document the days and amount of time that you practice and make available to supervisor upon request. In addition, you may be asked to demonstrate your competency level to your supervisor. 3. In addition to clinical methods, you may also need to spend some additional time reviewing audiometric interpretation. If you need assistance, please don't hesitate to ask your supervisor. 4. At least one week prior to the evaluation, obtain client's name from the master schedule (available from Lynn). Review the case history to determine if you need to consult with your supervisor about the evaluation process. 5. Obtain the client's telephone number from their file and call them at least three days prior to the evaluation to remind them of the day and time of their appointment. Also verify they know the location of the waiting room and clinic and have received a parking code, if pertinent. 6. Record any phone contacts with the client on the contact sheet in their file. 7 . If special tests or materials will be required, be sure they are reviewed and available prior to the time of the evaluation. Do not wait until the day of the evaluation. 8. Record and maintain clinical hours 9. Attend required clinical meetings 10. Dress appropriately and always act professionally. 1 1. Be familiar with and follow clinic policy and procedure 12. See syllabi for additional information Prior to the Evaluation 1 . Limit number of individuals that accompany client to only a significant other. Ask others to wait in the waiting room. 2.

Maintain a professional demeanor throughout the evaluation. After the Evaluation 1. Shut down all equipment. 2. Return all equipment, forms, etc. to their appropriate location, 3. Leave test area clean and ready for next clinician. 4. Complete the "blue sheet" in client's folder documenting tests administered and findings. 5. Return chart to clinic office ^ GRASON STADLER AUDIOSTAR PRO AUDIOMETER IMPORTANT GENERAL NOTES: o Anything displayed on the monitor that's underlined can be selected by using the internal or external mouse. The internal mouse are the black buttons in the center of the grey panel. o When a button is selected, it will illuminate veriffing you have selected that option o There are more than one method to perform the tests. This guideline does not list all methods. o "Store" must be selected after each individual threshold is obtained and each individual ear speech test is completed oointernal" o There is an mouse located midline towards bottom of audiometer in grey panel; There is also a wireless "external" mouse next to audiometer Test Type o Purpose is to determine which type of material is to be utilized (tone, high Hz, speech, more) .

IMEqgIAru. Make sure the intensity is turned to a minimum (e.g. 50 dB) prior to using the talk forward feature Patient Response Button . Purpose to notify examiner of a client's response o Indicated by a thin grey bar in the center of the display screen of the audiometer under the exhibition of the frequency Monitor o Purpose is to be able to hear the signals being presented to the client and adjust the intensity for the preference of the examiner o Located on top left corner in grey panel o Modifies intensity adjustments to channel 1, channel2, aux.intercom, talkback o To engage, push "select" button until desired channelioption is lit, then adjust black dial next to "select" to desired output level as viewed on display of audiometer Store o Purpose is to save data as testing is being administered. Must be engaged after each individual threshold and for every individual ear speech test. o Black button on right and left side within blue panel o Either button can be engaged and is not dependent to channel that is being utilized SET-UP l. Turn 6(ON" - button is on the right side of audiometer toward the back corner of audiometer 2.If not going to be using, turn off monitor in booth on patient's side o'data 3. Erase old sessions by (a) pushing erase" grey button in grey panel on left side, (b) use internal or external mouse to navigate to "clear session", (c) click "clear session", (d) click o'conflrm" 4.You can use either Channel 1 or channel 2, whichever is more comfortable for you. 5.

He denied any vertigo, nausea, vomiting, relevant to this article. otalgia, or otorrhea. He had noticed signs of a possible upper respiratory infection, including a sore throat and headache, the day before his symptoms started. His medical history was unremarkable. He denied any history of otologic surgery, trauma, or vision problems, and he was not taking any medications. The patient was afebrile on physical examination with a heart rate of 48 beats/min and blood pressure of 117/68 mm Hg. A Weber test performed using a 512-Hz tuning fork lateral- ized to the right ear. A Rinne test showed air conduction was louder than bone conduction in the affected left ear—a normal finding. Tympanometry and otoscopic examination showed the bilateral tympanic membranes were normal. THE DIAGNOSIS Pure tone audiometry showed severe sensorineural hearing loss in the left ear and a poor speech discrimination score. The Weber test confirmed the hearing loss was sensorineu- ral and not conductive, ruling out a middle ear effusion.

  • Bedside Neuro-Otological Examination and Interpretation of Commonly
    J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry: first published as 10.1136/jnnp.2004.054478 on 24 November 2004. Downloaded from BEDSIDE NEURO-OTOLOGICAL EXAMINATION AND INTERPRETATION iv32 OF COMMONLY USED INVESTIGATIONS RDavies J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2004;75(Suppl IV):iv32–iv44. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.2004.054478 he assessment of the patient with a neuro-otological problem is not a complex task if approached in a logical manner. It is best addressed by taking a comprehensive history, by a Tphysical examination that is directed towards detecting abnormalities of eye movements and abnormalities of gait, and also towards identifying any associated otological or neurological problems. This examination needs to be mindful of the factors that can compromise the value of the signs elicited, and the range of investigative techniques available. The majority of patients that present with neuro-otological symptoms do not have a space occupying lesion and the over reliance on imaging techniques is likely to miss more common conditions, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), or the failure to compensate following an acute unilateral labyrinthine event. The role of the neuro-otologist is to identify the site of the lesion, gather information that may lead to an aetiological diagnosis, and from there, to formulate a management plan. c BACKGROUND Balance is maintained through the integration at the brainstem level of information from the vestibular end organs, and the visual and proprioceptive sensory modalities. This processing takes place in the vestibular nuclei, with modulating influences from higher centres including the cerebellum, the extrapyramidal system, the cerebral cortex, and the contiguous reticular formation (fig 1).
