Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the methods of hearing assessment, to acquire the skills needed for realization Orientation of hearing using a portable audiometer. When working with hearing aid software And other accessories students will get a basic overview of hearing aids, essential acoustic parameters Pairing and related wireless features. It can be simulated for study purposes with aids Varying degrees of auditory defects, and using the stetoclip to aurally monitor changes in hearing settings. In particular, these are the following functions: hearing aid output, Client with a particular type of hearing impairment that students They can simulate differently. Outputs expected:  the student is acquainted with special pedagogical diagnostic tools evaluating the benefits of compensatory Hearing aids (hearing aids and cochlear implants) for children, pupils and hearing impaired students;  knows special pedagogical diagnostic tools and procedures to determine the suitability of wireless accessories for children, pupils and hearing impaired students.
Syllabus
  • Main themes (syllabus):  Target (Hearing Adjustment Software) + HI PRO Interface + Hearing Aid and Suspension Hearing Aid - When working with hearing aids and other accessories, students will get a basic overview of hearing aid, essential acoustic pairing parameters, and related wireless functions device. When working with hearing aids and Target hearing aids, it is possible for study purposes Simulate different degrees of hearing impairment. In particular, these are the following functions: Hearing output, its gain for Eventually. Client with a particular type of hearing impairment. The student will be able to make a concrete one An idea of ​​the degree of hearing impairment.  Stetoclip for listening to hearing aid functionality - this device can be used to monitor changes in hearing settings. The student will thus learn to test the functionality of hearing aids.  SmartLink + FM technology, Receiver to FM technology and iSense Micro - Students will get acquainted with themselves It will test that the hearing aids ensure the audibility of all significant sounds and the output signal is maintained within the preserved dynamic range of hearing. However, in acoustically demanding situations it is necessary besides Adequate frequency-specific amplification of hearing aids must ensure the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR / Signal-to-noise ratio. This will be possible when working with wireless accessories when it's for study purposes Simulate mediation of a distinct speech signal.  Otoscope - This is a medical device for examination of the drum and the inside of the outer ear. Working with the otoscope Basic otoscopic examination can be simulated, students will try to manipulate the device and before simulating Audiometric examination or listening to hearing aids using the stetoclip can be swift Control of the auditory conductivity.  Amplivox 260 Audiometer - when listening to a portable audiometer, you can simulate the hearing test Using tone audiometry in headphones as well as free field. Students will learn about the function of this device and will learn Control it and perform an indicative hearing test. At the same time, it is possible to simulate the audiometry by playing the game Is a common behavioral method used in assessing the auditory perception of hearing-impaired children. Students will acquire the basic skills needed to carry out this examination.  Audiometer - Students will be able to measure sound levels in various acoustically demanding situations.  Easy Fit Set + cleaning set of hearing aids and cleaning wipes - based on the use of these aids, students Will teach basic maintenance of compensatory aids for hearing impaired individuals.
