Unit description
This unit aims to develop skills in using objective audiological assessment for the diagnosis of hearing thresholds or site-of-lesion testing. The content of this unit includes a discussion of otoacoustic emissions and how to assess these, vestibular physiology, pathophysiology and balance testing, the origin of acoustically evoked potentials of the auditory pathway and their assessment including electrocochleography, auditory brainstem responses, middle latency potentials, mismatch negativity, and both discriminatory and obligatory cortical potentials.
