There is an increase interest and use of instructinal simulations in higher educatuin due to its many features and capabilities in providing real experiences to the classroom. This study utilizied Virtual Audiometer simulation in an Audiology course. The results of this study showed a big number of students agreed that the simulation helped in Visualizing the content through its ability of providing 3D representations of images and procedures. Students also reported enjoyment of using the simulation, in which it provides for authentic engagement with virtual equipment therefore the ability to do more demonstrations in class wich will ensure savingtime, money and safty. The study also indicated that the instructional simulation treatment ensures Quality and Quantity of Practice and Feedback, in which it provides opportunities for guided practice in which students siad that they were able to see each action the professor was taking and follow the procedure he was using to complete hearing tests. all though, The use of Virtual Audiometer simulation enhanced the perfessor's demonstration procedures in class, students wanted more interaction and collaboration by inviting students to participate in the demonstration process.
