Training activity information
Details
Safely perform and interpret the following diagnostic tests on infants and document the results:
- High-frequency probe tone tympanometry
- Diagnostic otoacoustic emissions
- Auditory brainstem response testing
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Principles of patient-centred care and support
- Newborn hearing screening programme pathways and testing
- Diagnostic and screening otoacoustic emissions
- Further electrophysiological testing, for example cochlear microphonic and auditory steady state responses
- Safeguarding procedures
- Local, national and international guidelines and best practice
