CSD401

This is the second part of a two-course sequence with Hearing Science. This course provides an introduction to audiology where the rehabilitation of hearing is the main objective. Methods of assessing and treating hearing disorders, with both children and adults, are surveyed. This includes learning about amplification devices, auditory-visual training, and modes of communication for the deaf and hearing impaired. Disorders and conditions that are a result of hearing loss are also addressed. This course includes clinical observations and laboratory experiences for students to practice the clinical techniques taught during the lecture portion of class.
