HEARING ASSESSMENT LABORATORY

CS&D 320

Introduction to the profession of Audiology, hearing assessment across the lifespan, ear and hearing disorders, management options.

CS&D 858

Study of concepts and procedures in physiological assessment of the auditory system, with emphasis on otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem responses. Clinical applications and case studies integrate these recordings with behavioral assessment of the auditory system.

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 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 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.
