Base Knowledge
The student must have knowledge of the different Hearing Rehabilitation Technologies, Audiovestibular System Pathology, audiological assessment methods in different age groups. You should also have consolidated knowledge of Auditory Rehabilitation I, as well as the Psychology of Interpersonal Relationships.
Teaching Methodologies
Expository and interactive theoretical-practical classes enable understanding of the program contents. Theoretical-practical classes allow students to assimilate the audiological intervention methodology with a view to implementing and following the Hearing Rehabilitation process most suitable for the clinical situation and age group, in an integrated way and with an overall vision. Classes are in person and it is possible to teach distance classes up to a limit of 25%.
Practical classes allow the consolidation of knowledge obtained in theoretical-practical classes, increasing students’ skills and abilities by being able to put assessment methodologies into practice with a view to selecting the most appropriate Hearing Rehabilitation plan. To this end, different methodologies will be used using simulation programs, programming software, role-play, among others, which will allow the development of necessary skills in real contexts.
Students will be monitored throughout the semester with clarification of doubts, whenever requested and as a complement to their training. Two hours are available per week, with a pre-defined schedule or to be agreed with the student.
Teaching aids for all subjects taught are also made available to each student with the bibliographical references recommended for the subject, at the beginning of the semester.
