Audiologic assessment and amplification.
The basic audiologic tests (audiogram, speech recognition, and acoustic-immittance), special audiologic tests (otoacoustic emissions and auditory-evoked potentials), and screening protocols, including universal hearing screening, are discussed. Hearing and acoustic-immittance screeners are evaluated. This article also reviews advances in hearing and sensory aids and assistive-listening devices.
