Refer Any Student Who: Has a current IEP and cannot be routinely screened by the school nurse. Cannot condition to the school nurse’s screening. Nurse’s Responsibility: 1. Contact Alicia Simon at 1-800-770-4822 ext. 2451 or Kristin Peppiatt, ext. 1718, if you wish to schedule. NOTE: Please call early, dates fill quickly. 2. Please have the Parent Permission Form (pg. 13) signed. Hold the form until the date of evaluation. 3. Schedule a quiet room for audiological testing. 4. Contact the parent/guardian regarding the test results. 5. If the child fails and requires additional testing, refer for an initial audiological evaluation on a preschool day (child will be tested by an audiologist and assistant). 6. If the child failed impedance testing only, it is suggested that the student be referred to his/her physician. 7. If further testing by the BCIU is requested, the parent/guardian should contact Debra Camburn, scheduling secretary, at 215-348-2940 ext. 1525. 8. If a child is absent on the day of the evaluation, the audiologist will be unable to schedule a make-up test. The parent/guardian should contact Debra Camburn at the BCIU to request a complete audiological evaluation. I.U. Responsibility: 1. Complete tests on scheduled date. 2. Consult with the school nurse regarding test results. 3. Give the school nurse a copy of evaluations at time of testing. BCIU #22 School Nurses’ Referral Packet 2011-2012 School Year 11 IMPEDANCE & OTOACOUSTIC EMISSIONS TESTING Some children with special needs typically cannot respond to traditional hearing screening evaluations administered by the school nurse. Pure tone screening evaluations generally are not successful with this population, as these children cannot understand the task required when administering the hearing screening evaluations. It should be emphasized that the hearing status of every child must be evaluated yearly to meet Pennsylvania’s requirement for placement in special education. With the school nurse’s current resource, the screening audiometer, the terminology DNT (did not test) or CNT (could not test) does not have to be accepted as the final hearing screening result for any child. Otoacoustic emission’s can provide frequency-specific, objective data. Otoacoustic emissions in combination with impedance testing (test to determine if a medical problem exists) have become valuable diagnostic tools to identify hearing loss in children. Tympanometry Tympanometry is an important part of the audiological assessment. Tympanometry measure the mobility of the eardrum. The vibration of the eardrum is essential to normal hearing. This measurement is important in determining the possible cause of a hearing loss that is generally not permanent, but medically correctable. A recording of the eardrum’s response to pressure changes will help the audiologist determine if the eardrum is moving normally. If the eardrum is not moving normally, the child should be referred to their pediatrician for a medical examination. Possible problems could include impacted cerumen, foreign objects, fluid, eardrum perforations, or a blocked P.E. tube. Otoacoustic Emissions Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) are sounds produced in a healthy ear when a sound is delivered through the ear canal. The audiologist introduces a sound that travels past the eardrum and to the inner ear (cochlea) via the bones of the middle ear. The cochlea produces an echo that is measured by the instrument the audiologist has placed in the ear canal. The echo is compared to normative data. The test must be conducted in a silent environment in order to avoid corruption of the sounds measured. The child is required to remain relatively quiet for about 3 minutes. If the cochlea (outer hair cells) is normal, and OAE’s are present, hearing acuity is presumed to be normal. A good rule of thumb is that if OAE’S are present, hearing is 35dB or better. If OAE’s are depressed or absent, further audiological evaluations are suggested to rule out a sensorineural (permanent) hearing loss. BCIU #22 School Nurses’ Referral Packet 2011-2012 School Year 12 Dear Parent/Guardian, Your child is scheduled to receive an impedance/otoacoustic emissions evaluation at school. These screening tests require no active cooperation from your child and help identify hearing problems. Please sign and complete the permission form at the bottom of this page authorizing the school to conduct this evaluation. Return the permission form to the school as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse at your child’s school.

School district should implement the SETT process. 2. Submit an audiological report requesting the trial use of all ALD equipment to the BCIU #22 Doylestown office. Please also include a medical clearance from the student’s physician for Individual FM system requests. To request FM system equipment, contact: Alicia Simon at 800-700-4822 ext. 2451 or Kristin Peppiatt at 800-770-4822 ext. 1718 or Ann Crawford at 800-770-4822 ext. 2159 3. The BCIU #22 sets up equipment for trial usage for the maximum period of two months. 4. The BCIU #22 audiologists in-services the student, teacher, parent, etc. on the use of the equipment. 5. SETT team documents student’s behavior before, during and after the trial period. Various behavioral checklists such as, “Teacher’s Appraisal of Classroom Amplification Trial Period,” are available to assist with documentation. 6. The BCIU #22 audiologists, hearing consultant or speech/language consultant is responsible for the return of the ALD to the BCIU #22 after trial use. 7. After the trial period, it becomes the school district’s responsibility to decide whether to purchase a similar device. The BCIU #22 can provide the school district with a list of manufacturers.
