Healthy Hearing at Fall Indoor Classic
2024-11-08 09:00 - 13:00
Healthy Hearing is the audiology component of the Healthy Athletes program. The Healthy Hearing screenings were introduced to Special Olympics athletes at the 1999 World Summer Games.
The purpose of this program is:

to screen the hearing of athletes;
notiify athletes and their guardians/care givers if follow-up care is needed;
provide custom swim earplugs if needed; and
study the prevalence of hearing loss in athletes and individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID).

Athletes are directed through screening stations which:

conduct an examination of the ear canals for cerumen (earwax); and
conduct an otoacoustic (OAE) hearing screening of both ears.

If athletes pass the OAE station, they exit the screening area. If they do not pass then an examination using tympanometry (middle ear) and pure tone screening is conducted. Upon completion of the screening, the athlete receives a copy of the screening report form, which includes follow-up recommendations.
