Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Prepare professional clinical audiology reports based on audiological test results.
  • Accurately report findings from pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, immittance, and objective tests.
  • Differentiate and report conductive, sensorineural, and mixed hearing loss using appropriate clinical terminology.
  • Write age- and audience-appropriate reports for pediatric and adult audiology cases.
  • Interpret and report electrophysiological test results (e.g., ABR, ASSR) within a clinical framework.
