Audiology Assesment : Hearing tests for Autism

Hi

I am an audiologist and my main role is to test childrens hearing, it has come to my attention that over the last few years we have seen an increase in those children with autism.

I just wonder if anyone has had any experience with the hearing assesment with their children and how they feel the hearing test went and how the audiologist manged to test your childs hearing?  

I am very conscience as an audiologist and relaise that at times due to lack of understanding and training that obtaining a hearing test can be very difficult ?

I just wonder what you as parents feel and is there any advice and tips you may wish to give to help us audiologists?.....also any fellow audiologists out there who have any tips??

  • Forgive me if this spounds pedantic but I'm a little worried when someone describes themselves as proFFeSional.......I'm not simply pointing out wrong spelling of professional, it makes me wonder how genuine is this enquiry.

    Granted you may have dyslexia, for which apologies for making the point, but all the same it is important if you are presenting yourself as a professional enquirer - cocnerns, refferals, paediatircian's (para 3) etc. While this interface does seem to produce typos, a professional might go over their reply.

    I venture to ask are you a student doing a dissertation?

    We've all responded helpfully, but there are proper procedures (see Forum Guidelines), and it would be unfair to use the forum as a quarry for a dissertatation.
