About this course

Topics covered include:

  • Hearing and speech perception and associated disorders (e.g., hearing loss, deafness, tinnitus)
  • Vestibular function and associated disorders
  • Objective electrophysiological measures: auditory and/or vestibular evoked responses (ECochG, BERA, ASSR, CERA, VEMP)
  • Behavioural experiments (psychoacoustics)
  • Principles of hearing rehabilitation with neural prostheses, i.e., cochlear implants
  • Research methods in audiology/auditory neuroscience
  • Application of methodology (in patients, if possible)
  • How to design and conduct research projects
Learning outcomes

Students obtain knowledge on basic audiology and neurotology. They conduct electrophysiological recording experiments (in patients, if possible) and apply the methods typically used in auditory neuroscience by engaging in a scientific research
project. Students also gain insight in clinical audiology and hearing rehabilitation by cochlear implants.
