Subject outline
Building on the knowledge and practical skills gained in Clinical Audiology A, this subject provides you with an opportunity to consolidate your skills in audiological assessment of adults and children. Through a combination of off-campus clinical placements and focused workshops, you will be taught to develop independence, professionalism and communication skills. You will be provided with an expanded range of casework, including hearing aid assessments and objective techniques. The learnings in this subject will be assessed by examination, portfolio, a written report and assessment at clinical placement. Professional accreditation requires a minimum level of clinical exposure. Students attendance at professional placements will contribute to meeting this requirement for professional recognition as an audiologist.
