Handbook

In this subject you will learn about concepts and procedures used in objective measurements of hearing, balance and site-of-lesion testing in audiology.  You will learn about the origin of otoacoustic emissions and acoustically evoked potentials of the auditory pathway, including electrocochleography, auditory brainstem responses, middle and late latency potentials,  auditory steady state responses. Building on this theoretical knowledge, you will be taught skills in assessing otoacoustic emissions, auditory evoked potentials, and integrating the results of these objective techniques with behavioural tests used in audiological evaluations. You will further gain knowledge and practical skills in the assessment of vestibular function and central auditory function. You will build on practical knowledge and be taught skills in the diagnosis of pathology and interpretation of advanced diagnostic assessments particularly in relation to vestibular pathology.
