2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This is the first off our clinical practicum subjects. You will be taught to develop competence in basic adult audiological assessment through a combination of observation in clinical environments, computer simulations, independent learning and practice hearing assessments, on real clients. You will apply your knowledge of fundamental clinical assessment procedures learned in AUD4IDA (Introduction to Diagnostic Audiology), including history taking, client preparation, otoscopy, pure tone audiometry, acoustic immittance assessment and speech discrimination testing. You will be introduced to critical and analytical thinking skills required to select appropriate tests, and interpret and integrate findings across the test battery. In addition, you will be taught skills in client interaction and professional conduct in a clinical setting. Your learning in this subject will be assessed through skills test and assignment work.
