Hi Faye
i attended a course a couple of years ago and manual was advised and
the course directed how to undertake audiometry to specific
standards. I have not read any material that contraindicates bekesy
which i still use if there is an automated machine and i follow the
standards and i found this when looking into it as i was told at the
course manual would hold more in court than bekesy however see this
article abstract
