Course Description
Audiology is a branch of science that studies hearing and balance. The aim of this course is to present you with the theoretical and practical subjects that we will learn during the four years at an introductory level. In this context, the course content consists of concepts related to psychoacoustics and auditory perception, which form the basis of audiological examinations within the scope of hearing physiology and psychophysics, causes and types of hearing loss, tools, equipment and methods used in diagnosing hearing loss and the evaluation process.
