Getting Testimonials from Patients
April 30, 2012 Brian Taylor, AuD I would like to learn how to get testimonials from people. I haven't been successful in getting good ones. I've had patients tell me how much they appreciate our service, why they chose us over another location, etc. They agree to do the testimonial on camera, but they become stilted, can't find words and it's a disaster. Then they feel bad and I feel bad. What is a better way to approach this?

Testing the Frail, Elderly Patient
June 6, 2011 Brian Taylor, AuD I found the course Using Speech in Noise Tests to Make Better Hearing Aid Selection Decisions very helpful. I already use the QuickSIN in my practice and will add the ANL. I'm still trying to find quick easy tests for the frail elderly patient - it's very difficult to assess these patients with all the diagnostically necessary tests we need to do. Any help or advice is welcome!

Transcranial BICROS
May 29, 2006 Donald Hayes, PhD I have a patient who has tried a BICROS fitting in the past, but it was an unsatisfactory experience due to the cumbersome BTEs. The patient is willing to try another type of fitting. I am familiar with a TCROS (Transcranial CROS) fitting, which I know is theoretically for a dead ear with a normal ear, instead of a dead ear with a HI ear. However, is there any validity to fitting this patient with binaural CIC's under the same principal that a high power CIC in the dead ear will transfer to the better ear, which is also aided? He has a mild SNHL beginning at 3K in his better ear.

Headband Options for Bone Conduction Aids
February 20, 2006 Sheila Douglas I would like to enquire as to what is currently accepted as the most useful with soft headbands for bone conduction hearing aids? Is it best to buy a fabric headband, and attach the bone conduction aid with velcro? Are there any companies that provide such equipment? We are currently seeing a few children with difficulties with the hard headbands, either due to cosmetics reasons, or discomfort.

Probe Mic Measures with TM Perforation
March 21, 2005 Donald Hayes, PhD Could you please direct me to some information on probe microphone measurements, particularly in cases where the client has TM perforation.

Occlusion Effect
June 21, 2004 Donald Hayes, PhD I have a client who seems to have unusually severe occlusion problems. His low frequency thresholds at 250Hz, 500Hz and 1000Hz average 35dB in both ears. He has a severe high frequency loss in both ears. I have fitted him binaurally with BTEs and Hard Acrylic Skeleton moulds with 3mm vents which I have belled out still further. No matter what I do he complains of a humming of his own voice, particularly with sounds like ''ee'', ''mm'', but better with the more open vowels. He doesn't appear to be any better off with a monaural fitting. Any suggestions?
