The unit will introduce different types of hearing loss, basic audiological tests, and clinical procedures for evaluating hearing in children and adults. Students will learn how to interpret audiological results, how hearing difficulties impact on listening for communication, and how different interventions can make listening easier. This will promote an understanding of how the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathways function, how to assess the structures of the auditory system to diagnose different hearing related conditions, and how hearing relates to communication and quality of life.
