Chapter 6 : The clinical examination of aural function
نویسنده
چکیده
As Rosenberg (1972) pointed out in Katz's Handbook of Clinical Audiology. the first, and possibly the most valuable, test of all is the case history. In the practice of aural medicine, questionnaires can be of considerable value, as in medicine in general (Bennett and Ritchie, 1975). In aural medicine, questionnaires may be particularly valuable for the assessment of the disability and handicap of auditory (Noble, 1978; Barcham and Stephens, 1980) and vestibular (see Chapter 15) dysfunction. The value of questionnaires in forensic aural medicine, however, is more limited. In such circumstances, recourse is best made to the non-leading question (and answer) approach which is used by lawyers themselves (Hinchcliffe, 1987).
