CARL Inspirations

Discover how others are using CARL!

Otoscopy Spot CheckTry placing a small letter or word at the end of CARL’s ear canal. It’s a simple way to check if students are actually seeing what they should during otoscopy. Great for reinforcing technique without needing to hover over their shoulder.

Patient Walkthrough with Hearing LossUse CARL’s hearing loss feature to run through a full patient interaction. Students can practice adjusting their speech — like slowing down or speaking clearly — to match the patient’s hearing level. Bonus: it’s a great way to highlight how small changes can improve communication.

Built-In Troubleshooting ChallengeBefore class, mix up the audiometry setup — switch the left and right transducers or change the settings slightly. Then let students figure out what’s off. It’s a fun way to build problem-solving skills and mirror real-world mix-ups they’ll eventually face.

Pre-Clinic Confidence BuilderUse CARL to run mock sessions before students head into their first placement. Have students set up the room, prepare the equipment, greet CARL like a patient, and go through a full appointment start to finish. It’s a great way to practice clinic flow, time management, and professional demeanour in a low-pressure setting.
