Paediatric Audiology Assessment
Attendees: Dr. Sarah Jones, Audiologist; Mrs. Emily Carter, Mother.
Presenting Problems:
* Difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, as reported by the mother.
ENT History:
* No recent ENT consultations.
* No grommet history.
Family History:
* Maternal grandfather with age-related hearing loss.
Developmental History:
* Typical developmental milestones achieved.
Audiological Assessment:
Otoscopy:
* Normal external ear canals and tympanic membranes bilaterally.
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA):
* Performed via air conduction, thresholds within normal limits for age.
Tympanometry:
* Type A tympanograms bilaterally, indicating normal middle ear function.
Speech Testing:
* Age-appropriate speech discrimination testing revealed 100% correct word recognition in both ears.
Explanation to Caregiver:
* The audiologist explained the results to the mother, confirming normal hearing and middle ear function.
Report to GP/ENT:
* A report will be sent to the child's GP, summarising the findings and recommendations.

(Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, evaluation, or continuing care – use only the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note as a reference for the information included in your note.
