>> Dear Colleagues,
>>   I was curious if anyone here, who studies speech or hearing, with  no 
>> useable vision has performed any type of auditory examinations (e.g., 
>> using an audiometer...). If so, I was wondering whether you found the 
>> instruments for  assessment to be blind-friendly. In other words, were 
>> you able to use them without sighted assistance and if so, (a) did you 
>> have to purchase modified versions and (b) where did you find such 
>> modified versions?
>>
>>   As  many here know, I study spoken word recognition from a 
>> psycholinguistic perspective. I am considering aging influences involved 
>> in an aspect of lexical processing for my dissertation and may need to 
>> perform audiometric testing to ensure audibility is equivalent or 
>> experimentally controlled.
>> Many thanks,
>> Christine
