Learning outcomes:
Understand the Mechanisms of NIHL:
Trainees will be able to describe the anatomy and physiology of the ear, explain how noise exposure leads to hearing loss, and differentiate between short-term and long-term effects of noise on hearing.
Critically Evaluate Hearing Health Surveillance Methods:
Trainees will be able to assess the strengths and limitations of current hearing tests like surveillance audiometry, and explore alternative tests such as Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) and Speech-in-Noise (SIN) tests for comprehensive hearing assessment.
