Word recognition testing seems pretty basic, yet many audiologists take shortcuts and use techniques based on habit and convenience rather than evidence. These methods may have a negative clinical impact. This article uses a Q & A format to explain how to follow best practices for word recognition testing, common pitfalls, and why it matters.

Bone conduction audiometry is a standard test performed in an audiologic evaluation. Bone scores help indicate the site of lesion and type of hearing loss that may be present; however, there are times when unexplainable air/bone gaps or bone thresholds poorer than air thresholds are obtained. This webinar will address some of the oddities of bone conduction audiometry and clear up some of the frustration felt by clinicians when strange results are obtained.
