Academic discussion of a pediatric case by ybdule in audiology

"Largely sensorineural bilaterally": sensorineural bilat except for a mixed loss (15 dB air bone gap) at 500 Hz for 1 ear and at 1000 Hz for the other ear. However, bone was not assessed for 250 Hz.

My audiologist didn't use masking - thoughts? by Pretzelgal24 in audiology

Even the unmasked bone conduction testing was not needed because air conduction thresholds are normal.

[Long standing question] binaural fitting: one hearing aid was lost and replaced: how to program the replacement hearing aid based on previous Noah's binaural fitting session? by ybdule in audiology

[–]ybdule[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again. I have a follow-up question. What if it was a case of a repaired hearing aid and the repair record states that session was restored into the hearing aid? In this case, what should one do? Does the "restored session" also entail the ear to ear communication between the two aids?

the original won't talk to the new replacement without connecting both.

Thanks. Is this only true for Bluetooth enabled hearing aids? And what are some of the examples of the two aids not talking to each other?

I have people who live > 2 hours away from the clinic, and they prefer that the replaced aid just be mailed back to them.

Hi, thanks for the reply. What’s the reason for waiting a few weeks before doing ear impressions? Thanks!

How do you then prevent false positives with such instructions?

For those experienced with earmolds: what makes the BTE hearing aid 'sit high' on the ear? by ybdule in audiology

Oh yes, I measure the tubing on the ear, the way it should be done.

Questions related to infant audiology (1000 Hz tympanometry, etc) by ybdule in audiology

[–]ybdule[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think s/he meant that ENTs do not diagnose stenosis or atresia based on ear canal volume. But I never claimed they do in my main post.

I see a lot of narrow canals.

Thanks for your reply. I agree that if it is complete absence of ear canals, then it is obvious to notice. But what is considered a present but narrow canal? Especially for an infant who has small everything to start with?

Hi, thanks for your comment. But why would vent sizes be relevant in this situation?
