Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Area of Science:

Audiology
Communication Sciences and Disorders Education

Background:

Pure-tone audiometry is a fundamental audiological assessment.
Effective clinical training tools are essential for developing student competency.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel web-based simulation program for pure-tone audiometry.
To provide an accessible training tool for hearing screening protocols.

Main Methods:

Developed a web application using HTML/JS/CSS with a Flask backend and MySQL database.
Created realistic, diverse patient profiles representing U.S. demographics.
Integrated a virtual clinical audiometer with standard features and guideline-based instruction.

Main Results:

Students can practice hearing screening and measure audiometric thresholds virtually.
The simulation facilitates active learning of audiology procedures.
Diverse patient scenarios enable discussions on cultural competence in audiology.

Conclusions:

The simulation program serves as a valuable clinical training tool for audiology students.
It enhances pedagogical outcomes in communication sciences and disorders programs.
The program supports training in pure-tone audiometry with a focus on diversity.
