Caloric test, Auditory reflex testing, Tympanometry OH MY! There are a number of tests you can perform on your patients depending on their symptoms. If you are applying for a position within a clinic that specializes in cochlear implants then discuss your experience with Electrocochleography and Video Head Impulse Tests. Know the speciality and speak to the testing that would be performed there.

There are several different ways to assess a patients' needs other than the audiogram. I believe that one of the most important ways is to ask the patient where they are struggling or in what situations they would like to hear better. Through case history, I can determine what my patient's symptoms are, and I have a whole plethora of assessments other than the audiogram in my toolbox. An additional way to assess patients' needs is to talk to other providers that they may be working with the patient. By working on a multi-disciplinary team, I can determine how to treat best and help my patients.
