BOOKING: CLICK HERE TO BOOK
Who is the course for:
Hearing care practitioners at beginner or intermediate levels who want to update their skills in real ear measurements. This is designed to be as practical a course as it can be via virtual medium. After this course, the practitioners should be able to undertake real ear measurements on adult clients in their clinics.
A completion certificate will be provided for the attendance.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Understanding the scientific principles underlying the common verification techniques
2. Understanding how to use speech intelligibility index in optimising amplification
3. Setting up and verifying various fitting parameters via real ear measurements
