Virtual Audiometry Workshop (2 session program)
Enquire for price
An in-company, live-streamed course in the basic skills required to conduct hearing tests on adults, primarily within general practice and health assessment organisations.
Via a live video link-up, students will undertake tuition and practice in conducting audiometry, analysing results and managing various elements that can affect the accuracy of hearing test results.
While many audiometric testers have received “over-the-shoulder” training at work this often results in limited accuracy and confidence that test is being done well. By contrast, a US research study revealed that formal training produces accuracy, competence and confidence in practitioners. In turn, this can enhance the quality and reputation of individual practitioners and businesses.
Through a combination of live-stream lectures and hands-on exercises, the Virtual Audiometry Workshop teaches students best practice methods and skills, designed to enhance confidence and competence in hearing testing.
The workshop is primarily aimed at medical and occupational health practitioners who are looking for basic skills and knowledge as well as increased confidence when conducting audiometry.
Participation in the Virtual Audiometry Workshop can earn up to 8 CPD points.
Course content is drawn from several sources including Australian Standard 1269.4, Codes of Practice and university-qualified audiologists with over 20 years clinical and teaching experience.
Students will gain basic skills and knowledge in numerous aspects, including:
- Best practice method for obtaining audiometric test results
- Selecting the right testing equipment for your practice
- Plotting and presenting test results to patients
- Options for managing background noise
- Basic ear anatomy and physiology
- Common ear conditions in adults
- Applying referral criteria
- Essential checks to ensure equipment is working
The Virtual Audiometry Workshop is taught to small groups of 2-4 people. This allows our teachers to engage students in one-on-one, hands-on practical sessions and individually tailor development of key skills.
Workshop Location, Dates and Fees
This workshop is conducted at your workplace and delivered over two sessions of four hours each on two separate days. We supply all equipment including video cameras, tripods, audiometers and live-streaming software.
Being an in-house course, we can be flexible with timing and program content. Please contact us to discuss your particular training requirements or request a quote.
Who would benefit from attending this workshop?
Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds (including nurses, doctors, allied health professionals & related fields), both with and without prior hearing testing experience.
The course will appeal to:
- Existing or new testers who want to improve skills and confidence in conducting best practice audiometry.
- Medical practices seeking to enhance the quality and accuracy of audiometry results and reporting.
- Nurses and other clinicians seeking Continuing Education credit (up to 8 hours) while obtaining valuable clinical skills.
- Medical practices with an audiometer and no personnel with the skills to operate it.
Note: There is insufficient content and hands-on practice to achieve compliance with audiometry Standards and legislation. See our comprehensive 4-day Occupational Audiometry Course or Intermediate Audiometry Workshop for more thorough training in workplace audiometry to industry specifications.
