Reliability of Bone Conduction Thresholds Using the KuduWave Pro Automated Audiometer
Given the growing need for reaching the growing numbers of individuals in low-resourced regions through telehealth audiology, the purpose of this study is to compare pure-tone air and forehead placement bone conduction thresholds of adults while using the manual Hughson-Westlake procedure on the GSI 61 with those obtained by the automated portable telehealth enabled KuduwaveTM Pro.. The thresholds obtained using both instruments will be compared to determine if the average differences are within test-retest reliability, +/- 5 dB.
- Upon completion of this session, participants will have a better understanding of the capacities of one potential tool
- Learners will be able to list some of the challenges encountered in community based audiology.
- Learner will have a better understanding about the strengths and challenges of automated audiometry.
