La Dra. Flexer nos comparte la siguiente recomendación:
Hearing First has published a new Familiar Sounds Audiogram with an accompanying eBook and a technical addendum. The Technical Addendum offers detailed methodological explanations and references that support the rationale behind the audiogram’s features. All materials on the Hearing First site are free and some of their resources are also in Spanish.
Pasted below is the new Familiar Sounds Audiogram, and here is the link to the Hearing First site where the Technical Addendum can be downloaded. In my opinion, this Familiar Sounds Audiogram is an excellent, data-based resource.
Technical Addendum to the Familiar Sounds Audiogram
This addendum provides the technical details and references to explain the rationale behind the updated Familiar Sounds Audiogram, including the shape, size, and placement of the speech region; the placement of the selected Ling 6 Sounds; and the placement of other familiar sounds along the outside of an audiogram..
