| hello all... my name is Brenden and im a masters research student in
audiology at the university of western australia conducting my thesis
on exploring problems experienced by hearing-impaired audiologists,
compensatory strategies they use & whether some tests can be modified
to make them more accessible. While verbal communication is important
in audiology, little is known about how effective amplification &
assisted-listening devices are for hearing-impaired clinicians. Yoder &
Pratt (2004) identified that a hearing loss can make some tests more
difficult than others & identified some compensatory strategies that
can be used (e.g. placing a client to enhance lip-reading or using a
modified listening scope for hearing aid listening checks). If you are
a hearing-impaired, deaf and/or hard-of-hearing professional employed
or previously employed as an Audiologist, Audiometrist or Student in
audiology, please complete the questionnaire below, which should take
about 20 minutes. the address is
