ISM- Period 6
This was not a very helpful website for my project because it gave information that I had
already learned from my mentorship, and it was not specific about the types of testing
audiologists preform.

This website was very helpful for my project because it provided more information on
topics I had already discussed with my mentor, as well as new topics and information.

Questions and audiologist would ask a patient would be “how would you describe your
symptoms? Do you have pain in the affected ear, did your symptoms come on suddenly,
do you have ringing, roaring or hissing in your ears, do your symptoms include dizziness
or balance problems, do you have a history of ear infections, ear trauma or ear surgery,
have you ever worked in a job that exposed you to loud noise, flown airplanes or been in
combat in the military, does your family complain that you turn up the volume of the
television or radio too high, do you have trouble understanding someone who is talking to
you in a low voice, do you have trouble understanding someone who is speaking to you
on the telephone, do you frequently need to ask others to speak up or repeat themselves
during conversation? Does this happen more frequently in a noisy setting, such as a
crowded restaurant, can you hear a coin hitting the floor or a door closing, can you hear
when someone approaches you from behind, if your hearing is impaired, does it bother
you or affect your quality of life, would you be willing to use a hearing aid if needed”
(Mayo Clinic 13).
Treatments include removing wax from the middle ear, sometimes surgery, hearings aids,
and cochlear implants (doesn’t include all treatments, just some of the most common).
People who choose not to do these treatments or still do not experience better results can
do certain things to help them hear better
They can position themselves in a way where the person speaking is either directly facing
them or speaking into their better ear
They can turn off background noises like the TV or radio
They can ask the person/people they are talking to speak clearly or loudly/more loud than
usual
They can choose to have conversations in quitter settings like asking to have a more
isolated table in a restaurant or ask to speak to someone somewhere else
They can choose to use an assistive listening device like hearing aids or a cochlear
implant so they won’t have to go through the trouble of asking people to speak louder or
not being able to hear even when asked
This website was helpful to my project because it gave management procedures for adults and
pediatrics, and gave questions an audiologist would ask a patient.
