Unit description
This unit aims to further develop skills in the assessment and clinical management of more complex cases that are seen in audiological practice. It encourages a holistic or a multidisciplinary approach to both assessment and management. Diagnostic procedures include auditory evoked potentials at cortical level that measure auditory precept and discrimination. Complex disorders include tinnitus, auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, non-organic hearing loss, cortical deafness, vestibular rehab, meniere's disease, and auditory processing disorders.
