This study used a questionnaire to determine if 25 first-year audiology students from an audiology program in a large Australian university felt their interactions with SPs and CBSs had improved their ability to interact with clients and perform a basic audiometric assessment. These students reported their interactions with the SPs significantly (p < .01) improved their performance in 10 out of 10 areas of client interaction and their interactions with the CBS significantly (p < .01) improved their abilities in 6 out of 8 areas of basic audiometry. They also reported that the SPs’ portrayals of the cases and the content of the simulated cases were realistic, although further preparation for interacting with the SPs was desirable. Overall, these results support the continued investigation of SPs and CBSs as potential methods of training and assessing Australian audiology students in the areas of client interaction and basic audiometry.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124228715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment (NTT), which originated in Australia and recently has gained visibility in the United States, comprises a new variation of traditional tinnitus therapies. NTT uses a proprietary wearable audio player as its primary treatment modality. NTT is unique amongst tinnitus treatments in that a corporate entity controls all operations, including clinician training, provision of sound therapy devices, and oversight of the clinical activities involved in this trademarked therapy. We review here the three published con - trolled clinical trials of NTT. Observations are offered regarding limitations of these trials with respect to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) and the CONSORT supplement for nonpharmacologic treatments. The CONSORT standards provide rigorous review criteria for randomised clinical trials. The lack of methodological transparency, and the proprietary nature of NTT limits the ability of independent investigators to evaluate the merits of this clinical approach.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130156657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to establish tympanometric normative data using this new method. Participants were 157 normal, healthy, full-term newborn babies with chronological age between 1 and 8 days. Normative data showing the 90 % range for tympanometric peak pressure, admittance at 200 daPa, uncompensated peak admittance, component compensated static admittance (YCC) and traditional baseline compensated static admittance (YBC) are provided. The results showed no significant gender and ear asymmetry effects, nor their interactions with any of the test parameters studied. YCC had a significantly higher mean value than YBC (1.02 0.46 versus 0.66 0.34 mmho). Given that ears with middle ear dysfunction often show severely reduced admittance values, the higher mean admittance result obtained from normal ears using the new method suggests that this method has the potential to better separate normal from abnormal admittance results. Furthermore, this method is mathematically sound since it takes into account the phase difference between admittance quantities when a 1000 Hz probe tone is used.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124261313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
