Audiology

The objective of the Clinical Audiology Master’s Program is to raise expert audiologists possessing professional knowledge, skills, and sensitivity who behave in accordance with professional ethical codes and are open to interdisciplinary collaboration with departments such as ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat), neurology, pediatrics, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and psychiatry. The program aims to train specialists who will play an active role in the diagnosis, evaluation, and rehabilitation of hearing and balance disorders that may arise in individuals of all ages—from newborns to the elderly—by utilizing various objective and subjective testing materials in clinical settings. Furthermore, these specialists will be capable of counseling hearing and balance-impaired individuals and their families on the physiological, psychological, and social impacts of these losses; prescribing appropriate hearing aids based on the patient’s specific hearing loss and conducting subsequent audiological follow-ups while the patient is using these devices; and proposing as well as administering suitable treatment methods in clinics for patients suffering from tinnitus.
