17 SCREENING Station 4 PURE TONE SCREENING Screening: Hearing at 2000, 4000 Hz at 25dB HL Instrumentation: Pure tone audiometer with air-conduction earphones Position: Athlete and screener should be seated on the same side of the table. The athlete may face the screener as long as the athlete cannot see the front of the audiometer or the screener’s fingers depressing the audiometer’s interrupter key. Procedure for a verbal or nonverbal athlete: 1. Ask the athlete to must sit still, listen carefully to very quiet tones, and raise his/her hand whenever he/she hears a tone. Training is recommended, as described below. 2. Place earphones on the athlete, making sure they cover the ears completely, the pinna is not folded over or pinched and there is a good seal. 3. Begin by presenting a “training” tone at the 50 dB HL to be sure the athlete hears it and knows the behavioral response (i.e., raise hand). 4. Ask someone to assist you with the training if this is not successful. 5. Try a higher training tone of 60 or 70dB HL if an athlete does not respond at 50dB HL. 6. Once the athlete demonstrates understanding of the procedure and the expected response, screen one ear, then the other. Present the tones at 2000 and then 4000 Hz at 25dB HL to each ear. 7. If the athlete does not respond at the 25dB HL screening level test frequency, mark the result No Pass. Record: Print your name in the appropriate block on the HAS form, and check Pass or No Pass for each ear. Pass or No Pass decision: The athlete is referred for further audiological evaluation if the results show a No Pass at any test frequency in either ear. The athlete is finished with the Healthy Hearing screening after completing this station if a Pass is achieved at each test frequency in each ear, and is directed to the check-out desk.
However, if the decision is No Pass and there is a Station 5 (pure tone air- and bone-conduction threshold testing), send the athlete to Station 5 for testing. If there is no Station 5 at an event, you may choose to do a pure tone airconduction threshold audiogram for the right and left ears at 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz and record the results on the athlete’s HAS form (see instructions for Station 5.) This decision is made on an individual basis in consultation with the Healthy Hearing clinical director. Note: Always use the ultraviolet light to clean the earphone cushions and headband after screening each athlete. Equipment needed • Two six-foot tables • Eight chairs (for athletes and volunteers) • Four audiometers/headphone sets • Ultraviolet light • Pens • Nonlatex gloves 18
