ELECTRO-ACOUSTICAL ENGINEERING

CS&D 854

Systematic review of physical concepts of acoustics and electronics underpinning the practice of audiology, as well as formally adopted standards by which clinical environments, instruments and procedures are calibrated.

CS&D 855

Laboratory experience in electroacoustic measurement and calibration of examination spaces, test equipment, and amplification systems pertinent to the practice of audiology.

ECE 740

Time harmonic fields and waves in linear media with applications to radiation, guiding and scattering; wave and surface impedance and admittance concepts; duality, uniqueness, image theory, equivalence principle, induction and compensation theorems, reciprocity, Green's functions, wave functions, potential and transform theory. Knowledge of electromagnetics [such asE C E 420] strongly encouraged.

CS&D 202

Physical acoustics of sound, the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, and the psychology related to hearing, known as psychoacoustics.

CS&D 856

Introduction to hearing aids. Components and signal processing features of hearing aids, electroacoustic measurement and verification of hearing aids in couplers and real ears, earmold and earshell acoustics, assessing patient needs and determining hearing aid candidacy, using prescriptive fitting strategies, and hearing aid repair and troubleshooting.
