Audiometry for the Retarded: With Implications for the Difficult-to-Test.
Fulton, Robert T., Ed.; And Others
Directed to professionals with a basic knowledge of audiological principles, the text presents a review of audiological assessment procedures and their applicability to the retarded. Pure-tone, speech, and Bekesy audiometry are described. Also discussed are differential diagnosis of auditory impairments, conditioning and audiological assessment, acoustic impedance measurement, cortical-evoked response audiometry, and autonomic responses as supplementary hearing measures. Appendixes present tables of hearing levels, measured intelligence, and adaptive behavior; references follow each chapter. (RJ)
