This programme is aimed at acquiring in-depth knowledge of the normal hearing process within the framework of human communication. The programme entails training in audiometry, and hearing therapy for persons of all ages experiencing hearing loss. It includes the possible causes of hearing loss and the scientific basis of intervention for a person suffering from hearing loss or people at risk of developing hearing loss.
Assessment includes screening and diagnostic audiometry. Therapy (intervention) may occur in a one-on-one situation, through group therapy, as part of a multidisciplinary team approach, or by means of community-based intervention programmes.
Practical skills in assessment, hearing therapy and techniques for improving aural and general communication skills are acquired. The qualification complies with international requirements.
