In this course, you will explore the importance of aided validation and the options available for performing validation for different pediatric age ranges.
Verification of hearing aid amplification is essential to ensuring the correct prescription for each individual patient. However, in the pediatric population where self-reporting measures cannot be relied upon, further validation measures are equally important in order to confirm whether the hearing aid fitting has been successful or whether further adjustments are required. This course will explore the importance of validation and the options available for performing validation for different pediatric age ranges.
