What procedures do you recommend using when giving a patient their initial exam?
"The initial exam consists of the history intake and overview of why they are there to see me.
As an Audiologist, you'll do everything from examining patients who have hearing, balance, or related ear problems, keep records on the progress of patients or fit cochlear implants. Tell the interviewer the particular tests and steps you would take with a new patient.
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

During the initial exam, I would take an extensive case history to determine why the patient was being seen. Following, I would complete otoscopy, tympanometry, air, and bone conduction testing, speech reception, and word recognition testing and would end with counseling and recommendations.
