Survey of Hearing Screeners: Training and Protocols Used in Two Distinct School Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study compared the training and protocols used by two groups of elementary school hearing screeners: one group of school nurses and one group of contractually hired personnel. The participants were asked to complete a survey concerning their training, screening protocols, and opinions on minimal hearing loss (MHL). Results revealed that the school nurses listed more sources of training and reported a greater variation in hearing screening protocols, while the contractual screeners listed fewer training sources and used more uniform screening protocol. Possible reasons for these differences are given, and comparisons on other survey items, including opinions on MHL, are discussed.
