Learning objectives
The course aims to enable students to know and understand basic information on the anatomo-physiology of the auditory and vestibular apparatus, also in order to allow students to use these knowledge and understanding in identifying the patient's problems related to the condition of a person suffering from a disease and to prepare an appropriate care plan
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The students at the end of the course will demonstrate knowledge and understanding about:
- the outer, middle and inner ear anatomy
- the temporal bone and facial nerve anatomy
- the liminal tonal audiometry
- the supraliminal audiometry
- the impedance
Prerequisites
audioprotesi I exam
Course unit content
The lessons cover topics such as the outer, middle and inner ear anatomy, the temporal bone and facial nerve anatomy, the liminal tonal audiometry, the supraliminal audiometry and the impedance.

Teaching methods
Lectures will be held on-site in compliance with safety standards, provided that further instructions on the ongoing health emergency are not implemented. Supporting material will be available on the specific, student-reserved platform (Elly) and will include slide presentations, audio-video aids or video-recording of the lectures
Assessment methods and criteria
The achievement of the goals of the course is verified by an oral exam.
Answering questions about the contents of the course, the student will demonstrate whether he/she has achieved the goals of knowledge and understanding of the contents and the ability to apply the acquired knowledge.In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
