Seminar In Audiology

Catalog description

This seminar, taken concurrently with SPPN 640 Advanced Audiology, offers hands-on experience in the administration and interpretation of audiological procedures that align with the scope of practice of speech-language pathologists. Students learn to measure classroom acoustics, screen for hearing loss, and screen for auditory processing disorders. Troubleshooting hearing aids and cochlear implants is also a key component of this seminar. IEP recommendations to provide the D/HH student with hearing assistive technologies, acoustic accommodations, and hearing support services in the classroom are considered. Additionally, this seminar addresses the ethical implications of providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services to D/HH clients from diverse backgrounds and belief systems.
