Speech and Hearing Science refers to the study of production, transmission and perception of speech and hearing. In this course, you will be introduced to theories and concepts that illustrate the relationship bewtween acoustics, speech production and speech perception, the acoustic properties of voice, resonance of the vocal tract, the acoustic characteristics of vowels and consonants, and the acoustic cues of speech perception. The student will become familiar with acoustic instrumentation, diagnostic equipment used to measure speech objectively, and how this can be applied to evaluation and treatment of clinical disorders. You will study the anatomy and physiology of the ear, responses of normal and pathologic ears to change in sound stimuli, with particular concern for the application of this knowledge to the understanding of diagnostic tests of audiology and methods of rehabilitation of the hearing impaired.
