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 and middle latency potentials.

The class test will aim to assess your knowledge of objective assessments relating to OAE, Electrocochleography and ABR. These will largely focus on the equipment set-up, stimulus, anatomy & physiology and acquisition parameters and your ability to apply your knowledge to a case study. All knowledge assessed will be material taught in lectures or in practica.
Duration: 1.0 hour
Due Date: Thursday 6th Sept, 2:00pm
Due: 20th Sept, 2018

The 2nd class test will aim to assess your knowledge of objective assessments relating to Vestibular responses and Middle Latency Responses including Auditory steady state response. These will largely focus on the equipment set-up, stimulus and acquisition parameters and your ability to apply your knowledge to a case study. All knowledge assessed will be material taught in lectures or in practica.

You will be presented with various clinical cases (check ilearn). Each will show case history information, audiometric results and auditory evoked potential results. You will be asked to write brief notes on each test and integration of the results cases. The aim is for you to develop your clinical integration skills in this area of audiology.
Format: 2000 words (not including the reference list)
Due date: Monday 15th Oct, 5:00pm
