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??

    Although I find your comment rather offensive INSULTING and rude!!!

    I am a qualified NHS Audiologist and have been for 8 years and am using this forum as it should be intended to be used (to get advice from those who know best!!!) I do not feel I have should not have to justify as to who I am and why I want information as like I say I am an honest professional who just wanted some helpful tips from those who have been in the same situation as many patients I see on a daily basis

    Forgive me for thinking this would be a place that could answer my honest questions

    I will now be withdrawing from any further comments and will be making an official complaint in regards to your comments!

    I strongly suggest you take the time to think about your inappropriate comments in the future as it would be a real shame to lose members of such a useful forum due to your behaviour and insulting comments!!

    I must add it seems such a shame as I did think this could be a good resource for me and my “professional” colleagues as we are attempting to make services better for those individuals.

    Many thanks for the constructive comments from others

    Regards
