AUDIOFONIATRIA
Module AUDIOLOGIA

Academic Year 2024/2025 - Teacher: Salvatore FERLITO

Expected Learning Outcomes

The aim of the discipline is to ensure initial knowledge of the physiopathology of the vestibular audio compartment and the dynamics of the interrelationship between the two pertinent districts. Audiometry of the tone. Hearing disorders. Tests with the diapson. Audiometry of the voice.Mascheramento.. Recruitment. Tympanometry and stapedial reflexometry. Otoacoustic emissions. Auditory evoked potentials. Paediatric audiology. Hearing aids. Cochlear implant. Tinnitus.

Course Structure

Acoustic physics, anatomical physiology of hearing, physiopathology of hearing, diagnostics of sensorineural and transmissive hypoacusias,

If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote way, the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to respect the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.

Verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, should the conditions require it.
