CSD 880 - Grand Rounds in Audiology

Credit Hours: 1-2

Describes in-depth aspects of audiological evaluation, diagnosis and management of routine and complex cases. The course will review cases in which behavioral, electrophysiologic, central, and vestibular testing are necessary to allow differential diagnosis. Each case study will involve the progression of the disorder and audiological/medical manifestations that occur during this period. Discussion involving strategies for (re)habilitation, remediation and management of each auditory disorder will be examined. The latter may include amplification, central auditory processing, counseling and tinnitus management. Case presentations will be obtained from audiology, otology, and neurology journals, text and personal cases. In addition, with respect to aural (re)habilitation, presentations will be made on current trends in amplification management regarding manufacturers’ products and their applicability to specific cases. Must be repeated to a minimum of three hours.
