Hi Doleen With regards Occupational Audiometry, I can really recommend Occupational Audiometry: Monitoring and Protecting Hearing at Work by Dr Maryanne Maltby. Its essential reading for me and I refer to it frequently. Kind regards Jo Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:54:08 +0000 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] audiometry To: [log in to unmask] Hi Doleen, More than happy to provide detail, if you call me offline. However, I would encourage you to consider attending an audiometry and spirometry course, which will not only provide training, but the knowledge base underpinning these activities.

I am particularly interested in finding out if audiometric test can be done without a booth-what are the currrent guidelines in this matter. if so what doe the result mean ethically and professional accountability taken into consideration. Second, i am interested in finding out what should be the acceptable level reference value for spirometry (FEV1/FVC). how many blows does a client have to do and is it 3 together and how any should be force and slow. Is it acceptable to do all 3 forced blow or should there be forced and slow blows. Thank you in advance! ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
