-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
The student selects and independently carries out library and/or empirical research. Faculty supervision is provided on an individual basis. Prerequisite: to be determined by the faculty and the division director.
-
1.00 Credits
This course trains the audiologist's assistant to conduct screening otoscopic inspection, pure-tone air-conduction threshold testing, and tympanometry. It prepares the student to assist the audiologist with pediatric testing and with setting up patients for electrophysiologic testing. Additionally, the student learns hearing screening procedures and infection control.
-
1.00 Credits
This course prepares the student to assist the audiologist with the following tasks: making earmold impressions, training patients in the basic use and care of hearing aids, testing and troubleshooting hearing aids, and making minor in-office repairs, explaining assistive device options to patients and fitting hearing protection devices.
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides the student with background in the reasons for neonatal hearing screening, and factors that place children at the greatest risk for hearing loss. The goals of neonatal screening are described, and assistant's role in the program is discussed. The student learns to conduct screening and automated aud. brainstem response testing. Infection control issues are highlighted.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the gross structure of the brain and spinal cord and functional relationship of their parts with emphasis on the auditory and vestibular peripheral and central nervous systems.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the basic acoustics, acoustic phonetics, psychoacoustics and physiology associated with speech and hearing. A system approach to speech production and perception will be employed.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide students the opportunity to learn about and discuss the critical importance of outcome measurements and clinical research in audiology. Students locate information and evaluate the rigor of the source and document, and synthesize the professional literature on a topic of their choosing.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will be able to interpret audiometric, tympanometric, and screening results. Students will review acoustics, learn anatomy & physiology, and will recognize the symptoms and typical tests of the major pathologies of the auditory and vestibular systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Audiologic Diagnostic Procedures Across the Lifespan: Students will study components of the basic audiologic examination, including, but not limited to, case history, otoscopy, pure tone threshold evaluation, speech threshold evaluation, speech recognition evaluation, classical site-of-lesion tests, test result interpretation, and test battery interpretation. Students will demonstrate performance of these procedures. Audiologic screening and procedural modifications for special populations including pediatrics will also be discussed. Hypothetical cases will be presented.
-
1.00 Credits
This lab is designed to provide opportunity for students to practice audiological evaluation methods. Students will conduct components of the basic audiological examination, including, but not limited to, case history, otoscopy, pure-tone air and bone threshold evaluation, speech audiometric testing, masking procedures, classic site-of-lesion tests and test interpretation.
