Audiology practice
Summary of audiology services and the percentage of
audiologists providing these services are shown in Figure 2.One audiologist performed otoacoustic
emissions (OAEs) measures on all their patients whereas half
of the audiologist respondents reported performing OAEs
depending on the patient.Of the total respondents, six audiologists
performed auditory processing disorder (APD) assessments,
but no information was provided about the type of tests or
management and whether these tests were in Arabic or English.The remaining respondents reported performing
vestibular evoked myogenic potential, videonystagmography,
and/or caloric testing.Of the total participants, 10 audiologist participants performed
otoscopy routinely on all patients whereas four of them reported
performing otoscopy most of the time.Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and auditory steady-
state response (ASSR) were used by 11 (47.82%) audiologist
respondents.
