Title: The Patient Instructions
Course: 14FA-HIS-250-H1B1-REAL EAR MEASUREMENTS > Section: Lessons

Patient instructions and testing protocol are two areas we will focus on for Lesson 7.  Below, I will provide you a summary of my patient instructions, and this week I would like for each of you to arrive at your own patient instructions and I would like you to add those instructions to your counseling manual, or better yet, you can create a testing folder.

Writing out the instructions will help you when it comes time for your Practicum exam when you are ready to go for testing for licensure.

My instructions for air and bone testing are as follows:

- Air Conduction.  We will begin with playing some tones in each ear.  You will hear a beep, beep, beep.  Each time you hear the series of tones push and release your response button so I know that you hear them.  They will get so soft that you barely hear the tones, so even if you just barely hear the tones push and release your button.
- Bone Conduction. I am going to place a headband on you, and I am going to play some tones through the button that I place behind your ear. In the opposite ear you will hear static or white noise.  Ignore the noise, and press your response button when you hear the tones.

I think you get the idea. Think about your instructions, and be prepared to write them out.
