Clinical pathway

When a patient arrives at the clinic

Follow the stages of the assessment in order; each stop opens the related note, simulator and tool. Test order may vary by clinic and patient.

  1. 01

    History and otoscopy

    Listen to the complaint and examine the ear canal and eardrum.

  2. 02

    Pure-tone and speech audiometry

    Air and bone conduction thresholds, masking and speech tests.

  3. 03

    Immittance

    Tympanometry and acoustic reflexes for the middle ear and reflex pathway.

  4. 04

    OAE

    Outer hair cell function; screening and differential diagnosis.

  5. 05

    ABR

    Threshold and neurodiagnostic assessment with the auditory brainstem response.

  6. 06

    Interpretation and report

    Bring the findings together: type, degree and report.

  7. 07

    Devices and implants

    Choose the right solution, fit it and verify it.

Case of the day

Read today’s audiogram

A new case every day. Answer three questions and see the reasoning straight away.

Preparing the case…

Right ear red, left ear blue. Air conduction O and X, bone conduction < and >. Masked bone conduction is shown as [ and ], masked air conduction inside a square.
