Written by a Swedish working group of ten members and distributed for comments to all major hearing centres and audiological institutions in Sweden, the methods described in this book are founded on an extensive knowledge and experience that should provide a good basis for improved audiometric testing. The selection of the methods included in this book was based on the principle of including all established tests that can be described by a uniquely defined test procedure and that use commonly available test equipment. The description of each test is as complete as possible and is structured in seven parts: purpose, patient, procedure, marking, comments, technical equipment and references. Wherever applicable, recommendations from international standards produced by the International Standards Organisation Technical Committee 43 Acoustics and the International Electrotechnical Commission TC29 Electroacoustics have been followed. The book will be of interest to clinicians, trainee audiologists and assistants, technical audiologists and audiological physicians.
