Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Distance Education

Background:

  • Distance learning is increasingly common in higher education.
  • Web-based clinical simulations offer pedagogical and clinical value for remote instruction.
  • Audiometry is a fundamental skill for speech-language pathologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the instructional effectiveness of a web-based pure-tone audiometry simulator.
  • To assess skill acquisition in undergraduate and graduate speech-language pathology students using virtual and portable audiometers.

Main Methods:

  • Undergraduate and graduate communication sciences and disorders students practiced basic hearing tests.
  • Participants used either a virtual web-based audiometer or a portable audiometer.

  • Competencies in basic audiometric testing skills were evaluated for both groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Both undergraduate and graduate students successfully learned basic audiometric testing skills via the virtual audiometer.
    • Skills acquired using the simulator transferred to practical application with a portable audiometer.
    • The web-based simulator demonstrated instructional effectiveness comparable to traditional methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Web-based audiometry simulators are effective tools for teaching fundamental audiological assessment skills.
    • Virtual simulation provides a viable and relevant option for distance education in speech-language pathology training.
    • The study supports the integration of web-based simulators into audiology and speech-language pathology curricula.
