Teaching Methodologies
Continuous evaluation: The final classification will be the weighted average of the PL assessment (30%) and T/P (70%) minimum score in each evaluation should be 9.5 values. The T/P evaluation consists of a written paper to be presented and discussed. The student’s performance throughout the classes and their assiduous presence will be evaluated, accounting for 20% for the grade of the PL assessment. Evaluation by examination: The final classification will be the weighted average of the PL assessment (30%) and T/P (70%) minimum score in each evaluation should be 9.5 values.
The T/P assessment consists of a written examination. The PL classes will consist of the practice of clinical cases, using simulation platforms, so that the student is confronted with the audiological results expected according to the various pathologies addressed. Discussion of clinical cases in T/P classes. Monitoring of knowledge acquired through practical classes. Online classes up to 20%.
Learning Results
Identify a variety of changes in the external ear, middle ear, inner ear, and 8th cranial nerve. Describe the physical characteristics, patient complaints, audiological findings, and treatment options for a variety of hearing disorders.
Understand how audiometric results help in the differential diagnoses of common auditory alterations, and the importance of masking methods in obtaining these results.
Combine hearing disorders with types of hearing loss. List results of audiological tests characteristic of different alterations in the peripheral and central auditory system. Interpret the results of the ABR with regard to hearing thresholds and 8th cranial nerve disorders. To relate the presence and absence of OEA, with the degree of hearing loss and differentiation of cochlear and neural disorders. Describe a variety of vestibular disorders, and see the relationship between audiological test results.
Program
– Presentation and marking of dates and evaluation parameters.
– Presentation of clinical cases, where the pathological aspects involved, the evaluation methodology, audiological results, and how these contribute to differential diagnoses of alterations in the auditory system, the possible follow-up and rehabilitation to be carried out will be discussed.
– Evaluation
Practical classes where it is intended to simulate the results of the various pathologies presented in the theoreticalpractical component.
