Educational objectives

The student must have knowledge of:
• instruments used in the investigations and evaluate the results that derive from them also in reference to environmental measurements.
• operation of the equipment used for audiological diagnosis, having a clear understanding of the structure, functionality and current maintenance of the same.
• correct hygiene and conservation of the instruments used for audiological diagnosis.
Results
• The student will know the operation and maintenance of environmental audiological investigation equipment,
• the equipment of the most common audiological tests
• The student will acquire knowledge relating to the correct hygiene and maintenance of the equipment used for audiological diagnosis.
Notions will be provided regarding the instruments used in the investigations and the ability to interpret the results that derive from them also in reference to environmental measurements. The functioning and correct use of the equipment used for audiological diagnosis will be illustrated, as well as the correct hygiene and conservation of the instruments used in the audiological field

Educational objectives

This module is dedicated to improving knowledge of technological innovation in the instrumental-diagnostic practice of the audiometrist technician and to the clinical and ethical aspects, through attendance at specific professional conferences (single-subject courses, annual national conference of the CDA audiometric techniques)

Educational objectives

The final exam consists of a practical test during which the student must demonstrate that he/she has acquired the theoretical-practical and technical-operational knowledge and skills specific to the specific professional profile and in the drafting of a paper and his/her thesis.
Expected learning outcomes
Verification of everything that has been studied and practiced in the 3 years of the course.
The student must possess all the professional knowledge acquired by passing all the exams required by the Study Plan. The student is admitted to the final exam after having successfully passed the exams of all the training and internship activities required by the Study Plan.
The practical test focuses on the analysis of a clinical case, extracted from a volunteer candidate, among all the cases prepared by the Examination Commission and related to all the areas of expertise of the Audiometrist Technician. For the analysis and resolution of each case, some minimum criteria are identified by the Examination Commission. The cases contain the essential elements for their classification and for being able to answer the questions asked.
The practical test, which can obtain a score of up to 11 points, takes place before the dissertation of the thesis on the same day. At the end of the practical test, the student is informed that he/she has obtained the qualification to practice the profession and has been admitted to the presentation and dissertation of the thesis.
The types of theses foreseen are:
a) compilation thesis, which requires that the theme is developed in an original way starting from knowledge documented through bibliographic research at a national and international level
b) experimental thesis, which can be developed within the scope of ongoing research in which the student can take part in phases to be agreed with the Supervisor and the Co-Supervisor or by carrying out a research project prepared for the purposes of the thesis.

Educational objectives

During the module, the student must be able to correctly perform and interpret the tracing of all tests for the study of the auditory and vestibular system: ENG and VOG, neurological auditory evoked potentials and threshold (ABR and SVR), Vemps, infant audiometry tests, tubal function tests, acufenometric tests.
- The student must also be able to correctly set up and execute a vestibular rehabilitation protocol.
be able to plan and execute a screening investigation in childhood and adulthood;
- Acquire the examination methods for the detection and diagnosis of hearing loss induced by acoustic trauma in the workplace;
