| Course Description | The aim of this course is to learn the typical development of the auditory system from infancy through childhood, the diseases/disorders that cause differences in auditory system development, the assessment and diagnosis of the auditory system in the pediatric group, and the basic principles of early intervention for hearing loss.
Through this, the goal is for students to understand the principles and differences of the audiological approach for children with hearing loss, from the newborn period through childhood. |
