This subject builds on Audiology Practice A, with more aspects of the clinical encounter introduced so students learn to utilise multiple sources of information, use clinical reasoning skills to select the most appropriate audiological assessment and learn to provide management specific to the individual. On completion of the subject, students will be able to perform history taking and simple diagnostic audiological procedures, and establish appropriate management and intervention plans for straight forward scenarios. This subject will also continue to develop on clinical communication skills, with a focus on verbal and non-verbal skills.

- Adapt clinical reasoning skills to interpret and integrate audiological results in standard clinical scenarios.
- Utilise a range of sources including referrals and reports to determine a client's need for audiological services across the lifespan.
- Demonstrate clinical audiological assessments, incorporating history taking and appropriate use and application of diagnostic tools.
- Formulate evidence-informed client-and family-centred management and intervention plans.
- Communicate standard clinical information professionally in verbal, non-verbal and written formats.
