Unit description
This unit is offered on a pass/fail basis. This unit aims to provide students with the opportunity to consolidate their knowledge of audiological assessment and to further develop a professional approach to audiological casework. The unit builds on the knowledge from CAUD8004 and also includes an understanding of paediatric assessment strategies for children under the age of five years. Students develop skills in audiological reporting and further develop an understanding of ABR, OAE and vestibular assessment. Students also further develop their understanding of hearing aid features and styles, and their application.
