In this activity, you will describe various test results from the following basic hearing tests: tympanometry, acoustic reflexes, otoacoustic emissions, pure tone audiometry, and speech audiometry.

Step 1: You will be presented with descriptive results from ten basic hearing tests. Interpret the results and what they infer about the auditory system in a 150-200 word summary. You will have ten statements in total, one for each basic hearing test result. All references should follow 7th Edition APA formatting. See the resource on the Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library for instructions: APA citation resource (N.B. references are excluded from word counts).
