Multiple choice questions are presented in a random fashion for repeated use.

Users benefit from confirmation, feedback on demand, and further elaboration of content materials presented in exercises.

They can carry out such exercises as labeling, matching, drawing audiograms, diagramming, outline completions, working crossword puzzles, etc.Users can also determine the correct diagnosis of 15 different hearing disorders (lesion sites) based on history, audiometric information and other clues. They can then justify their case management decisions and receive feedback on the accuracy of these decisions.

A series of demonstrations in the form of short videos illustrate a wide variety of audiological issues that would require many pages of text to describe.

The cross-platform CD-ROM can be used with many types of computers.
