Audiology practice
Summary of audiology services and the percentage of
audiologists providing these services are shown in Figure 2.
Of the total participants, 10 audiologist participants performed
otoscopy routinely on all patients whereas four of them reported
performing otoscopy most of the time. Only five respondents
performed tympanometry and reflex measures on all their
patients while nine of them performed only tympanometry
on all their patients. 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 23 audiologists, 12 audiologists
used headphones for pure tone audiometry (PTA), and eight of
them used both headphones and insert earphones, leaving three
audiologists used insert earphones only. The respondents reported
using one and/or more speech audiometry test(s). More than 65%
of them performed speech recognition threshold (SRT), 48%
performed speech detection threshold (SDT), and 40% used word
recognition scores (WRS). No audiologist participants mentioned
the use of any speech-in-noise tests, such as QuickSIN.
Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and auditory steady-
state response (ASSR) were used by 11 (47.82%) audiologist
respondents. The remaining audiologists did not perform any
electrophysiology tests. The majority of audiologist respondents
(88%) did not perform any vestibular assessments and/or
rehabilitation. The remaining respondents reported performing
vestibular evoked myogenic potential, videonystagmography,
and/or caloric testing. 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.
Tinnitus assessment, counseling, and/or management were
