Hearing and hearing disabilities -
with focus on working life
Kursen ges av Karolinska Insitutet: Department for Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology
Lärande mål:
Learning outcomes After completing the course, the student should be able to; - Relate congenital forms of hearing loss to the function/dysfunction of different genes, as well as to genetic and fenotypical heterogeneity - Derive the aetiology of different audiological disorders at all levels of the auditory and vestibular systems and also be able to analyse differences between these disorders, - Extensively describe, evaluate and compare different examination methods and treatments of different audiological disorders, - Extensively describe, evaluate and analyze prevention measures and strategies for hearing loss and hearing difficulties in working life. - Have a deeper understanding and knowledge about noise regulations and hearing conservation in different work life settings. - Discuss and reflect on difficulties, consequences and coping strategies for hearing impaired in different work life settings. - Discuss and analyze the background and possibilities of possible future treatments of hearing loss, - Discuss and evaluate the latest research in the field of hearing loss and hearing disabilities in working life.
Kursinnehåll:
The course is an in-depth course within hearing diagnostics, hearing loss and medical audiology. Special focus will be on causes, prevention and coping of hearing disabilities in working life including regulations and hearing conservation programs. The course includes aetiology, medical background and treatments of different audiological och otoneurological conditions. Genetics and hereditary hearing impairment are also discussed in depth. Methods used in measurement of hearing loss are discussed, as well as the influence of noise and ototoxic agents on the auditory system. The course include current research on future possible treatments such as antioxidants, gene therapy and stem cell research. Prevention of damage from different ototoxic agents and acoustical trauma is considered.
Arbetsformer:
The course will start with distance learning with given instruction of preparations for oral presentations of the course litterature in seminars during the course week. Lectures, seminars and demonstrations will take place during a concentrated period and after this period written assignements will be accomplished on distance.
Examination:
A written assignment formed as a systematic review on a chosen subject will test the students ability to evaluate, compare and analyze new research data together with basic knowledge. The assignmen will be presented orally on a examination seminar at the end of the course. A shorter written examination will test the overall knowledge.
