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.

Bilateral auditory Cortical lesion has a different impact on hearing and communication of an adult compared to a moderate (flat) cochlear hearing loss. Find a case with cortical lesion and one case with cochlear pathology, comment on how spectral and temporal analysis is different at cortical level from the cochlear level and how that impacts the speech perception and understanding in such cases.

A high school student, Ms Smith 15year old has come to your clinic with a complaint of hearing difficulty. She complains that she misses information that are given verbally. She is able to manage quite well in her room or a small group of 2-3 people but is finding it difficult to hear in their class (30 students or so) or in bigger hall. She has no other remarkable history of any kind but feels that she always had trouble listening whenever in group situation or big groups. The PTA results show hearing levels to be 20dB HL between 2k-8kHz, DPOAEs are present bilaterally and acoustic reflexes are present contralateral at 500-2kHz bilaterally at 100-105dBHL .
Keeping the case in mind,
1) discuss the current understanding of auditory processing disorders; and 2) what would your approach be of her diagnosis and management
On successful completion you will be able to:
- to competently integrate and apply audiological management skills of complex cases;
- to analyse and evaluate knowledge about a range of audiological conditions
- to competently develop, apply and discuss multidisciplinary approach

Most normal hearing people have reported hearing "buzzing” in their ears at some point. In some people the effect of this can be devastating. Explain in your essay the current theoretical model of tinnitus with evidence to support your answer. Also include what your management approach will be for a 40 year old Project manager who has approached your clinic with thresholds that are 25-30dB HL bilaterally with no conductive pathology.
