Event Details
Course introduction:
The primary complaint from patients to hearing care professionals is the inability to understand speech in noise. However, fewer than 20% of all audiometric evaluations include speech in noise (SIN) testing. In this class we will review how to assess SIN in under 3 minutes, how to interpret the results, and how to select and program amplification to better meet the needs of the patient/client.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:
- Name two SIN tests
- Define/explain the SNR-50
- Recite typical SNR-50 scores for people with normal thresholds.
- Recite typical SNR-50 scores for people with mild-moderate thresholds.
- Name the single most important amplification goal which impacts SIN.
