Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Abstract: There is growing evidence that failure to diagnose and manage hearing problems early in their course results in significant and--to some extent--irreversible sensory deprivation.

Battery-operated, in-office, limited-frequency audiometers are available for under $350.
