OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the necessity of differential diagnosis in conductive, cochlear, and retrocochlear hearing losses, and to equip students with basic knowledge and skills for the application of differential diagnostic tests.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Within the scope of this course, the fundamental characteristics of conductive, cochlear, and retrocochlear hearing losses are examined, along with the differential diagnostic tests used for these conditions. Clinical features specific to each type of hearing loss and the differences revealed through hearing tests are analyzed and discussed comparatively.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Applies appropriate tests to determine the characteristics of conductive, cochlear, and retrocochlear hearing losses.
Analyzes problems encountered during application and proposes solutions.
Analyzes test methods appropriate for the condition.
Applies differential diagnostic methods.
Performs applications using hearing test methods.
