OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to ensure application-based teaching of the objective test methods used in the field of audiology.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Within the scope of the course, it is aimed that students will be able to use relevant equipment accurately and safely, perform measurement procedures, interpret the obtained findings from a clinical perspective, and evaluate test results in a holistic manner. The course content is structured primarily around laboratory and clinical applications rather than theoretical instruction.
