CMDS 515 - Advanced Speech/Hearing Science

Credit(s): 3
3 hours lecture, 3 hours contact
Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate course in Speech and Hearing Science.
A study of the application of acoustic and physiological principles to the production and perception of speech and voice in children and adults is included in this course. Relationship of normal speech and voice production to pathologies found in children and adults is presented. Relationship of normal speech perception to perceptual problems found in children with hearing losses (i.e., conductive and sensorineural hearing loss) is also presented. Applications of various instrumentation in the diagnosis and treatment of these production and perceptual disorders in children are reviewed. Offered fall semester only.
