Elements of modern statistics including sets and functions, probability theory, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance models, correlation, regression, distribution-free statistics, SPSS, multivariate statistical techniques including multiple regression, multivariate analysis of variance, discrimination, canonical and factor analysis.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will address a variety of professional issues such as organizations, societies, and their histories; codes of ethics; scopes of practice; credentialing and licensure; the development of the Au.D.; guidelines and position statements generated by ASHA, AAA, ADA, and AVI; standards and best practices; methods and models of service delivery; and infection control.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will address acquired and congenital diseases and disorders of the outer, middle, and inner ear (including the vestibular system) and the central auditory nervous system (including auditory neuropathy and tinnitus) occurring across the lifespan; imaging techniques; non-audiologic medical and surgical interventions for these conditions; and cerument management techniques, including a cerumen management practical experience.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide the basic science background necessary to understand the effects of medications on the auditory and balance systems. This course will also address drug treatment strategies for hearing loss and balance disorders. Topics will include mechanisms of drug actions, side effects, how age and disease affect these mechanisms, and specific effects of certain drugs on the hearing and balance system. Prerequisites: Admission to the Doctor of Audiology Program or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will address styles and types of earmolds, hearing aids, and assistive listening devices; basic electronics, components of amplification systems and their electroacoustic properties and functioning; use of ANSI standards; earmold impressions; physical, acoustic and electroacoustic modifications of earmolds and amplification systems.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will address the principles of selection and fitting amplification systems, including hearing aids and assistive listening devices; subjective and objective audiologic assessments used to determine need for, select, and fit appropriate amplification systems for patients of all ages; and techniques used to select and fit amplification systems.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will address the principles of verification and validation; tools used to verify appropriate fitting of amplification systems (such as real-ear probe-mic equipment) and techniques used to validate fitting (such as software packages, and subjective and objective audiologic measures); cochlear implant remapping.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will address advanced technologies for individuals with hearing-impairment such as cochlear and brainstem implants, vibrotactile aids, and implantable devices, as well as the selection and fitting of these technologies.
