Amplification Systems II

Catalog description

Pre -requisites: AUDI 7211. Co -requisites: AUDI 7214. This course is the second of a two-course sequence in amplification systems. The purpose of this course is to expand the acquired knowledge on the first course: Amplification Systems I, on current amplification concepts, principles, and rationales. Topics to be studied include: advanced hearing aid fitting methods, hearing aid compression systems, digital and programmable hearing aid circuitry, and digital and programmable hearing aid fitting. Assistive listening and other sensory devices in addition to imp lantable technologies will also be studied. AUDI 7213 - Amplification Systems I Laboratory. One (1) credit. Pre-requisites: AUDI 7116, AUDI 7119, AUDI 7126. The laboratory experiences in this course are geared toward developing in the student the basic skills in the art of earmold impressions; physical and, acoustic, modifications of earmolds and basic hearing aid components. The laboratory will provide the st udent the opportunity of performing evaluation procedures for selection of hearing aids.
