Introduction to Speech and Hearing Sciences
Practice Exam
Course Introduction
Introduction to Speech and Hearing Sciences provides an overview of the fundamental principles underlying human communication processes, focusing on the biological, psychological, and acoustic bases of speech, language, and hearing. Students will explore the anatomy and physiology of the speech and auditory systems, the physics of sound, speech production and perception, and the development of normal speech and hearing across the lifespan. The course also introduces common disorders affecting speech and hearing and examines basic methods used in their assessment and management. Through lectures and interactive activities, students gain foundational knowledge essential for further study in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
