AUDE 6470 - Auditory Evoked Responses and Neurodiagnostics

4 credits: 3 credit lecture, 1 credit lab

A review of the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system as it pertains to auditory evoked responses (AERs) will be provided. This course will cover recording parameters, test procedures, and interpretation of auditory evoked responses. Specific topics will include electrocochleography, the auditory brainstem response, Auditory Steady State Response, middle and late AERs, pathologies of the retrocochlear system, and intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) techniques. Students will engage in case-based learning and journal club activities to integrate information obtained from AERs and other patient data related to a wide range of disorders involving attention, (central) auditory processing, speech perception, memory and cognition. Includes laboratory requirement.
