Spring 2021
Provides advanced study in the neural bases of hearing. Includes theoretical foundations and clinical assessment of neurological functioning in auditory systems with both normal and impaired function.
SLHS 6614 - Fundamentals of Amplification
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2023
Discusses theoretical and clinical issues regarding the design, fitting, and evaluation of amplification technology for individuals with hearing loss.

SLHS 7554 - Audiometric Instrumentation and Calibration
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2020
Introduces students to the basic concepts of electroacoustic transduction, and demonstrates the application of these concepts to the measurement and calibration of audiometric instrumentation. Students will become familiar with standard measurement equipment including multimeters, oscilloscopes, and sound level meters; and will become familiar with calibration standards for instruments including the audiometer, tympanometer, and electrophysiological amplifiers.
SLHS 7800 - Seminars in Audiology: Advanced Topics
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2020 / Fall 2022
Graduate seminar exploring advanced topics in the field of audiology as they relate to diagnosis and (re)habilitation. Topics will include novel clinical issues and topics including tinnitus, intraoperative monitoring, pharmacology, hyperacusis/misophonia, auditory processing. Discussion of the evidence-based literature surrounding these advanced topics will be central to this seminar.
