Learning objectives
The goal is to teach all the audiometric methods (semi-objective and objective) to assess an auditory threshold subjective or objective in non-collaborating patients, in this specific case child between 0-6 years of age. The purpose is to obtain the most accurate auditory threshold possible to achieve a child audiologic diagnosis at an early stage. To do so frontal lessons will be taken, furthermore the students will take an on-field traineeship in the Child Audiometry and Pediatric Intensive Care departments.
