Abstract
Even mild or moderate hearing loss can have significant social effects on individuals and is therefore an important health concern. Hearing impairments may be caused by problems in different parts of the ear. Audiologists carry out a series of tests to diagnose the source and extent of any hearing loss. In these lessons students will act in the role of an audiologist to diagnose common hearing problems from audiograms.
