Audiology is the study of both hearing and balance. In this course we will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the hearing and balance systems, common changes in hearing and balance, how we assess our hearing and balance systems, how we interpret and present the results to the patient and discuss management options for hearing and balance. In addition to the procedures, we will discuss how to provide person-centered care for each step.

This course will introduce a wide range of communication disorders affecting children and adult population. We will explore how the brain produces and understands speech, language and hearing. Neurological, anatomical, physiological, sensory, cognitive and linguistic liberation components of communication will be discussed. You will learn to identify a communication disorder based on the origin of the disorder, characteristics of the disorder, related assessment and intervention methods, and an impact of the disorder on one's daily life (for example, home, school, work, and/or community). You will learn how systemic racism affects linguistic diversity and equity in speech-language and hearing sciences.

Audiometrics is a clinical experience (practicum) for undergraduate students interested in speech-language pathology and audiology. Students will observe and perform basic evaluation procedures such as otoscopy, pure-tone audiometry, speech testing, and immittance testing with clinical instruction. Students will engage in the clinical process from preparation for an evaluation through reporting out the results and making recommendations based on a person-centered care model. We will discuss the importance of person-centered care and will have reflection journals after seeing a patient to create dialogue on what went well and things to continue practicing.
