Where are you placed this year?
I am currently at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, WA.Â
Describe your "typical" day (or lack of "typical" day)
Everyday looks a little different but I typically see adults for audios, hearing aids, & cochlear implants. I have pediatric days about once a week and get to perform ABR's & behavioral testing. Several of my preceptors crochet, knit, and sew so I like to bring a project to work on in case someone no-shows!
What's something important that you've learned at your placement so far?
Something important that I've learned at this placement is to not slack on the mental math skills! Being able to mentally calculate phonemes/words correct during CI testing helps make things run smoothly.Â
