During my last observation session, I saw DPS client. He had missed his inital appointment and had re-scheduled this one. While his thresholds had changed for the worse since his last visit, that was not what made this session interesting. All of the equipment in the clinic malfunctioned. The video otoscope light source would not work, it only picked up the room lighting. The tympanogram also malfuctioned, the clinician had to manually perform the acoustic decay because the machine would not let her automatically switch to that selection. The client was very understanding and did not get irritated since it took longer than usual.
