Within the Hearing Aid Technique, participants were introduced to the individual components of a hearing aid and the basic principle of how hearing aid operate. Within the Basics of Audiometry, participants practiced measuring and examining hearing, which plays a key role in process of determining whether a client needs to use a hearing aid.
