CSD 835 - Auditory Electrophysiology

Credit Hours: 4

This course introduces the electrophysiological auditory responses with a focus on the inner ear responses. The course discusses the different types of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and the cochlear potentials of the Electrocochleography test (cochlear microphonics [CM] and summating potentials [SP]) in detail. Students will learn how to record, analyze and interpret OAEs, CM and SP. Students will, also, learn screening and diagnostic applications of electrophysiological responses in a variety of auditory pathologies. Several academic disciplines contribute to the material covered, including: physiology, anatomy, and pathology. Topics extend to the auditory efferent system, ototoxicity monitoring, neonatal hearing screening, noise induced hearing loss, and beyond. Advanced study of auditory evoked responses applied in audiology.
