This subject introduces students to the basic concepts of bioengineering and signal processing relevant to electrophysiological measures used in audiology; the measurement and analysis of the auditory brainstem response; the theory and application of basic vestibular assessment including patient history and the Caloric, Vestibular Myogenic Evoked Potential (VEMP) and Hallpike tests; and the theory and application of Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) testing.
Intended learning outcomes
At the completion of this subject the students should be able to:
- understand the basic concepts of bioengineering and signal processing relevant to electrophysiological measures used in Audiology;
- understand the measurement and analysis of the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) and its use in infant hearing screening and diagnostic hearing assessment;
- demonstrate the developing ability to obtain, analyse and interpret ABR results, and to write accurate ABR reports;
- understand the theory and application of basic vestibular assessment including patient history and the Caloric, Vestibular Myogenic Evoked Potential (VEMP) and Hallpike tests;
- demonstrate developing skills in administering vestibular function tests; analysing, interpreting and integrating these test results; and writing accurate vestibular assessment reports;
- apply the knowledge and skills obtained in the subject to determine appropriate electrophysiological assessment techniques for patients;
- understand the theory and application of Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) testing; and
- demonstrate developing skills in administering OAE tests and analysing, interpreting and integrating OAE results with other audiological test results.
Generic skills
At the completion of this subject, students should be able to demonstrate:
- critical thinking, analytical and problem solving skills
- the ability to integrate theory and practice and to apply this in novel situations
