Hailey here to give you a run down of today's riveting activities Well I don't know if you would find hearing screenings as riveting as I do, but I guess to each their own.
After another nutritiousness breakfast at the dining hall, we headed to start our morning of screenings at the CDL. Today was unique because we worked with some of the younger population at the CDL. Much to our excitement we even got to screen some... wait for it... BABIES!
Now when screening nearly one to two year olds we do not perform behavioral pure tone screening. We do, however, perform the same Otoscopy, OAE, and Tympanometry. Most of the babies we saw were cooperative and remained happy throughout all of the entire process.
After screening some of the younger children we moved back to screening some of the preschool age children. Below are some pictures of us performing the battery of tests included in a screening.

We headed to lunch at the dining hall after a busy morning of screenings and then had some down time this afternoon to work out some of our sleepiness. Due to some unforeseen circumstances we spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each others company instead of more screenings. :)
So after an eventful afternoon we had a tasty dinner at Sonic, which I had never been too. It was enjoyed by all and a good experience all around.
Stay tuned for some great tales from our trip to the Buffalo Trace Distillery tomorrow.
Night,
Hailey
