Faculties

Bachelor in Audiology & Speech Language Pathology Audiology:

Audiology is the branch of science that studies hearing, balance, and their disorders. Its practitioners, who study hearing and treat those with hearing losses, are audiologists. Employing various testing strategies ( e.g. heating tests, otoacoustic emission measurement, videonystagmography, and electro physiologic tests), audio logy aims to determine whether someone can hear within the normal range, and if not, which portions of hearing (high, middle, or low frequencies ) are affected and to what degree. If an audiologist diagnoses a hearing loss or vestibule abnormality he or she will provide recommendations to a patient as to what options (e.g. hearing aids, cochlear implants, surgery, appropriate medical referrals) may be of assistance.
