Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the methods of hearing compensation. When working with hearing aid software and other accessories students will get a basic overview of hearing aids, essential acoustic parameters, pairing and related wireless features. It can be simulated for study purposes with aids varying degrees of auditory defects, and using the stetoclip to aurally monitor changes in hearing settings. In particular, these are the following functions: hearing aid output, client with a particular type of hearing impairment that students they can simulate differently.
Learning outcomes
The student is acquainted with special education diagnostic tools evaluating the benefits of compensatory hearing aids and cochlear implants for children, pupils and hearing impaired students; student knows special pedagogical diagnostic tools and procedures to determine the suitability of wireless accessories for children, pupils and hearing impaired students.
Syllabus
  • • Types of Hearing Devices - Hearing Aid, Bone Conductione Hearing Devices, Cochlear Implant- When working with hearing aids and other accessories, students will get a basic overview of hearing aid, essential acoustic pairing parameters, and related wireless functions device. • Stetoclip for listening to hearing aid functionality - this device can be used to monitor changes in hearing settings. The student will thus learn to test the functionality of hearing aids.
  • • Roger technology, SmartLink + FM technology, Receiver to FM technology and iSense Micro - Students will get acquainted with themselves It will test that the hearing aids ensure the audibility of all significant sounds and the output signal is maintained within the preserved dynamic range of hearing. However, in acoustically demanding situations it is necessary besides Adequate frequency-specific amplification of hearing aids must ensure the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR / Signal-to-noise ratio. This will be possible when working with wireless accessories when it's for study purposes Simulate mediation of a distinct speech signal.
  • • Easy Fit Set + cleaning set of hearing aids and cleaning wipes - based on the use of these aids, students Will teach basic maintenance of compensatory aids for hearing impaired individuals.
