SCI 3060 SCIENCE OF HEARING
This course builds upon its prerequisites within the speech-language pathology program. Prior to this course, students will have already learned the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology as well as phonetics and phonology. Students will study the interplay between acoustics, physics of sound, neuroscience, anatomy, and physiology of the hearing mechanism. The emphasis in this class will be on the principles of normal hearing, though hearing impairments and related communication disorders will be discussed. Students will also study how these principles relate to the practice of speech-language pathology and audiology.
