Audiometric testing help
Subject: Audiometric testing help

The doctor is dictating (he is a terrible mumbler) a letter to an attorney about a hearing test for a patient. 


"Testing performed on Dec. 13 the ?4 frequency average ???? 2000, 3000 cycles in the right ear....."


I don't know what he is saying before 2000, it kind of sounds like the word "found" and then something else that is more mumbling.  Also, do I type the number 4 or should I type the word four? 


I appreciate any replies.

Subject: She's not testing. She has stated before that she's

new to the field but has been doing ortho so far.  She is now doing some family practice.   We were all new once right?    If you read all the posts she even thought she could not post so often, which is not true.  You can post as many times as you like I would think.  I don't remember reading any rules stating you cannot.   I think they just like you to try to stick to the appropriate subject boards accordingly.   I only try to post answers to word help questions if I'm pretty sure.  If I'm not sure then I usually don't reply with anything at all.   I had to put my 2 cents in here though being another MT who does have a lot of experience but likes to learn from others as well.
