Speech Pathology in Sevilla
In Seville, candidates will shadow a Doctor / Audiologist in her private Clinic. And will learn to conduct hearing evaluations for babies, children and adults; tonal audiometry & speech audiometry; provide functional tests including tests of auditory behavior in infants and young children to complement the results of other objective electrophysiological tests such as otoemissions and brainstem evoked potentials.
This Clinic is a Baha Official Center: official Cochlear Baha osseointegrated implant center, for people who are not susceptible to using conventional hearing aids or cochlear implants due to problems with their middle ear, perforations, suppurations, malformations or unilateral hearing loss. (Baha can be placed with a small surgery in which a titanium abutment is fixed to the temporal bone or without surgery, using a band or soft pad adapted to the head, which allows the processor to transmit the acoustic vibrations to the ear.)
