We are excited to have you join us for an amazing educational line up, check out the agenda below for the 2025 Conference. Please note that this agenda is subject to change.
Conducting a hearing conservation testing program without a sound booth is possible with boothless audiometers. Dr. Victoria Bugtong, Au.D., a former Department of Defense (DOD) Audiologist, shares successes and challenges with setting up and maintaining a permanent boothless hearing conservation testing program. The presentation will guide you through the steps for taking the testing mission out of the sound isolation booth and successfully bringing it to any temporary testing event. The presentation covers all aspects of implementing boothless audiometry in the DOD from preparation, set up, ambient noise considerations, patient documentation and data entry. Dr. Bugtong will share the patient testing processes, and the lessons learned from her years working with boothless audiometers.
Learning Objectives: 1. Recognize how boothless audiometry is being used successfully in existing hearing conservation programs. 2. Summarize the benefits of implementing boothless audiometry technology in a DOD hearing conservation program. 3. Create and plan procedure for a permanent or temporary hearing conservation program using boothless audiometry.
