Counseling | Case Studies in Audiology

This site presents case studies in audiology, organized by the tabs to the right.

The cases use problem-based learning strategies. Students are encouraged to research questions raised if they have not yet had coursework on a given topic.

The goals for this case series are as follows:

to provide students with practice at conveying audiological information
to recognize when patient/parent questions and comments represent requests for information, seeking confirmation, or are affective in nature
to assist in the development of skills related to understanding the emotional components of patient/parent statements, questions and reactions
