Comparing Student Hearing Based on the Use of “AirPods” or Similar Devices

« Back to Client Connected Projects

Project Attributes

School: Smithville High School

Class: PLTW Medical Intervention

Instructor: Kim Morgan

Client: Dr. Janice Richbourg of Warrior Hearing Center

Problem: Determining the best questions to ask to evaluate the use of in-ear devices.  The proper way to administer the hearing test.

Students met with Janice to go over the project plan. After creating a questionnaire modifications were made after review with the client. Two students were trained to administer a hearing test and did this to our test subjects. Quentin Zimmer then analyzed the data to create a research poster.

If students can come up with 2-3 ideas to pitch to the partner, it gives them more options for the partner to decide on. Give the students timeline goals to make sure they are getting goals accomplished.
