Audiology I
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: Salvatore FERLITOExpected Learning Outcomes
The aim of the discipline is to ensure initial knowledge of the physiopathology of the vestibular audio compartment and the dynamics of the interrelationship between the two pertinent districts.
Course Structure
Acoustic physics, anatomical physiology of hearing, physiopathology of hearing, diagnostics of sensorineural and transmissive hypoacusias,
If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote way, the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to respect the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.
Verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, should the conditions require it.

Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
Separate written and oral test
If the course is to be taught in a mixed or distance mode, the necessary changes may be made in relation to what has been stated previously, in order to comply with the planned syllabus.
The verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, if the conditions require it.
