Audiology

OBJECTIVES

1. Provide the students with general basic knowledge about the development and function of the auditory system in their portions
  peripheral and central.
2. Introduce the students in the knowledge of the foundation, and interpretation of the different tests of exploration
 general hearing
3. To develop in the students the ability to carry out in a systematized and justified way all the test protocol of
 general hearing screening based on scientific evidence.
4. Provide students with the basics of hearing disorders, dysfunction and hearing pathology, so that a
 Once any alteration is detected, ask the medical specialist for a clinical report that establishes the definitive diagnosis.
5. Provide the students with the technical terminology commonly used in the field of Audiology.
6. Habituar to the alumnado to the scientific method used in the Sciences of the health.
7. Promote in the students their skills for self-learning and
   teamwork.
8. Raise awareness among students of ethical and professional responsibility in the
 Audiology practice
