DETAILS: The basic training (2 or 3 days depend on how many people and the readiness of participants), covers: DAY 1) Anatomy, physics, pure tone testing, light practical application, DAY 2) Speech, masking, hearing aids, light practical application, DAY 3) Pull it all together and test taking, more intensive practical application. (Updates have been made for the new test being given for TX).
If an individual only wants the Practical application “Boot Camp”, we can do that instead in one day.
Candidates will need to bring their own materials (audiometer, impression material, etc.) so that they will be well versed with their equipment by the time they go for testing, which is why it is strongly advised to bring the instrument you will take to the testing, not another one. We will some handouts that will help with the written testing and we will go through the practical portion of the testing to familiarize the candidates of what to expect of testing protocols. The purpose of the class is to "tune-up" the candidate in preparation for the Hearing Aid License Examination in their state. The goal is NOT to replace the role of the supervisor in the apprentice process. The material presented will be manufacturer neutral.
