Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module students will be familair with the basics of pathophysiology, as well as the psychology and sociology of hearing impairment and the main strategies of communication with hearing impaired people. They will have an overview of the technical treatment options, especially surgical therapy with a cochlear implant (CI). They will understand how important the subsequent adjustment of the CI is, as well as the methods used to do this.
