PHYSIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT IN AUDIOLOGY I

CS&D 852

Learn concepts and procedures necessary for a basic hearing evaluation, including otoscopy, immittance, pure tone and speech audiometry. Take a case history, document and report results, and communicate results to patients. Develop beginning-level abilities to rule out medical disorders and make appropriate referrals.

CS&D 850

Study of anatomy and physiology of the human auditory system, with an emphasis on the peripheral system. Basic concepts in psychoacoustics are discussed with reference to the normal and pathological auditory systems.

CS&D 861

Laboratory experience with hands-on recording and interpreting advanced physiological measures used by audiologists for threshold and diagnostic evaluations. Tests include advanced acoustic immittance, middle and long latency auditory evoked potentials, and cognitive auditory potentials. Learn to administer and interpret these tests and integrate the findings to form an overall assessment of clinical patients.

CS&D 860

Advanced study of physiological measures used by audiologists in threshold and diagnostic evaluations, including acoustic immittance, middle and long latency auditory evoked potentials, and cognitive auditory potentials.

CS&D 859

Laboratory experience in the procedures and interpretation of physiological assessment of the auditory system, wih the major emphasis on otoacoustic emissions and the auditory brainstem response.
